there are ways but that gets into pretty hairy emacs customization.

Ctrl+m is same as Enter in emacs. Best to avoid rebinding it.
Similar is Ctrl+i and Tab key.

The reason it's like that is because emacs's history, namely the
ascii.

Note also, by default, starting/ending keyboard macro is F2 and F3.
