The point is that in vim you
can't position the normal-mode cursor in such a way that inserted
characters are inserted at the end of the line.
But you can press i at the end of the line, then arrow-right, which
positions the cursor over the empty space after the line, and type. Try
it. In vim this works, because vim understands cursor keys. In original
vi not (there were no cursor keys on the old terminals). Usually, when
editing in vim, you don't leave the insert mode because you can use the
"special" keys as well as mouse actions to perform usual editing tasks.
Leaving insert mode is only necessary to run a command.
