OT: why do people say "due" in this context?

It is an adverb. It means exactly. I didn't want you to think that you were driving in any other direction except east to get to Manhattan from Wamego.

Yes but it is still weird and I commend Mocat for taking time to deconstruct our idiomatic foibles, even if it is a slightly minor one.

Least nervous: Saying "Due east"
Saying "Doesn't cut the mustard."
