This is probably unrelated, but the Diablo 3 dev team decided to not have a hotkey for weapon switch because "it's confusing for noobs, they accidentally hit the hotkey and wonder where the hell their weapons went."
Of course, This decision caused much rage in D3 forums.
If they used the same logic for the F-keys in SC2, it would be beyond retarded, it's almost impossible to accidentally hit shift-F2 and then go "whoa why is my screen jumping around?" - 99% of starcraft players doesn't even know they exist! (on a related note, i had no idea about the alt-hotkey thing until now either). Noob-friendliness is the only reason i can figure out, otherwise it would just be a plain oversight.
Regardless, it should be extremely easy to implement, no? BRING IT BACK ;(

There is a game manual for a reason. No excuse.
