It’s from back in the day when typewriters were a thing. You had ‘carriage
return’ and ‘line feed.’ Both of which were combined into the typewriter's
slide-lever you used to get back to the beginning of a line and move down one
line. Early computers only used one character (to save disk space), but
Windows copied it verbatim so now:
EOL is generally "\r\n" on Windows and "\n" on anything else.
Which is confusing as all get out, as the lay terms "return" equates to "\n".
And, as we’re not on Windows the lay term “enter” ("\r") isn’t used for us.
That came from memory, ymmv....
Short answer? Microsoft fucks up another thing...
Best,
Michael
