Mac Keyboard has both HOME and END, you were probably referring to compact/notebook one that requires the fn key.
Apple doesn’t hates no “button", just optimize the keyboard for common use and documents how to use them.

I can assure as PC notebook user that Fn key exists also on PC notebooks with weird acer/hp/ibm keyboards.

This is the normal Apple keyboard :

This is the compact Apple keyboard:

HP and other vendors uses on notebooks the same Apple solution for HOME/END (but i still hate how they design “enter” key).

No alarm, no issue, no bug, just normal design.
