Why is there a move 10 steps Block, even though there’s a block that does the exact same thing

Why is there a move 10 steps Block even though there’s a change X by Block,, which does the exact same thing

I used it a lot when I first started on Scratch. It’s what you can use to first figure out how to make sprites move before learning about X and Y axis stuff.

Move _ steps moves based on the direction of the sprite, change x just changes the x position.

Exactly, try this

turn ccw () degrees
move () steps

and compare it to this

turn cw () degrees
change x by ()

From your other topic (which was originally in Requests, and moved here and closed, because the correct answer had been given):

the move steps block is not the same as changing the x or y axis. Move steps moves the sprite in the direction it's pointing, while change x and y only moves it along the x or y axis.

The workaround involves trigonometry which isn't taught to most people until high school.
