A new user has no reason to think the return key and enter key do the same action. I always wondered why they should make the same action. An "old" user can learn quickly. A new user has every reason to think that they do the same thing. After all, the "1" key on the numeric pad does the same thing (normally) as the "1/!" key on the keyboard. This is even more the case with compact keyboards that don't have a separate Enter key (i.e., use FN+key), or separate numeric pad keyboards. IMHO, it is us old timers that even call them differently: to most people, they are _both_ the "Enter" key. After all, they do the same thing just about all of the time...
