The IBM 3277 was released in 1971 and had arrow keys.  The DEC VT05,
from 1970 and the VT52, released in 1975, had arrow keys.  Later
models, such as the VT100, VT220, and IBM PC had arrow keys.  The ex
editor is from 1976, but the vi name dates from 1979.

By the mid 1980s arrow keys were ubiquitous, but vi still couldn’t
cope with them.
