Fair point, but I find it useful to have a simpler and speedier
combination, redundant or not. For instance, I often use Org to make
structured documents out of plain text, text copy-pasted from PDFs etc.,
which involves scrolling through the document and repeatedly turning the
lines at point into headings. It quickly becomes a nuisance to do this
with a sequence of two double keypresses (`C-c *', that is, `C-c S-8' --
not to mention that I routinely switch between keyboards for three
languages with somewhat different ideas where `*' should be).

True. I think this needs to be revisited (before too many people get
used to the recent arrangement).

Yours,
Christian
