CRLF is a holdover from the teletype days. Back when a carriage return really meant return the carriage to the left margin, and line feed moved up the platen.

I was just thinking the same thing. In my PCP-8 days on a DEC teletype (or Lear Sieglar ADM80) ^i was tab, ^m was return, ^j line feed.

I was cranking out the FORTRAN on PCP-11.

In 1983, I used an RS-2732 (modem) board to send a data file to a sister location in Salt Lake over the phone. Ekthelthior!
