pages are hardly long enough to require this...
Anyone remember the days of PGUP and PGDN?

heck, one quick swipe on my trackpad gets me to the top or bottom of the main page. I hate unnecessary website buttons.

Why does everything have to be convoluted.
If this was so necessary, why is it only being requested now.

There's plenty of empty space for the proposed button
That's not universally true even just for PC users, nevermind those using different devices. Putting aside PC users with smaller resolutions, under specific conditions it can even be a problem with normal (ie, not overly large, single screen) monitors:
To add it to the bottom task bar, you'd either have to overlay it above the existing bar (which can cause interaction issues) or you'd have to space out the elements on the existing bar. While yes, there's plenty of room if you're using a maximized or near-maximized window size, or if you don't mind scrolling side to side or having everything feel cramped, it'd otherwise be a detraction to the layout for anyone preferring smaller windows.
Then there's the fact that "If it fits, I sits" works better as a justification for cat memes than it does as a justification for website design elements. In website design, that mentality just leads to needlessly cluttered interfaces (which in turn is largely discouraged as being unprofessional). Again, not necessarily an issue to everyone, but it would be one for those who prefer things more minimalistic. With that in mind, it's not really a workable response to "why should [X] be added".

Doesn't just "Home" do the same thing? What changes if you hit CTRL+Home?

Yeah, you're right. This site is weird. I am used to Home moving to the start of a line and Ctrl+Home moving to the start of a page. :)

I bind this key to my mouse forward and back button.
Now I can't go back to use mouse without these buttons.

That's definitely script territory. No real bearing or benefit to the site [as HOME, as noted, does exist].
Moreover, if it was introduced natively, it'd have to have a toggle implemented, as it can be a rather annoying element of a site to misclick.
Nevermind on sites that implement it more carelessly, where it's a quick way to have my tablet (and, I assume, other portable devices) glitch out, randomly activating the button. So cg'd also have to implement proper support for various platforms.
So, again, best left for optional-to-add script territory.

I thinks its hardly necessary for sites that use paging to display data..
If you use script to make it scrollable (I believe there is one) - then create a script for back to top... Original site doesnt really require it

In Opera browser you have built-in this option in every site, you just need to click currently opened tab. Well, Opera GX has a lot of great features like built-in adblocker, vpn, converting time or currencies when selecting text, "my flow", quick access to messenger/whatsapp... really there's a lot of it. I can recommend it so much.

The default Safari browser on an iphone also has it built in. You just click above the URL where the time and other information is and it will go back to the top of the page.

Other suggestion: why not have a staying top bar, no matter how much you scroll? I find it really odd that this site doesn't have something like that. The way the top bar looks you would think it would work like that.

In my 5+ years on SG I haven't missed that at all.
If you need such a button that much, I suggest installing ESGST.

I personally don't like anything that stays on the page when I scroll down. I think it is a waste of screen space and I always block these objects if possible with an ad blocker.

I propose to implement the "Up to top" button, which would be displayed in the corner of the site, so that you can return to the header of the site at any time.
