Why not? This was an intentional feature, and it is pretty useful generally for section numbers, list headings, etc.

1. Firefox already has "Go to Line..." in view-source context menu. ---- Redundant
2. The line number does not match in CodeMirror(Devtool Debugger, Style Editor), However, it does matvh in view-source. --- Inconsistent
3. When search by number on long source pages. There are too many search results and it is difficult to find what you are looking for. --- This is big problem.
