Why do early FPS that lacked mouselook such as Doom use CTRL and ALT for shooting and strafing as default?

Its so annoying! Especially with how its show easy to accidentally press the windows key and escape DosBox! I already customized my controls but I’m so curious who’s the morons who decided this would be a intuitive default control? I mean have they ever thought someone might exit the game multiple times by accident?

The Windows key didn’t exist back then, so there wouldn’t have been any way to accidentally exit. (there was no key at all between control and alt)
