ENOTTRUE, echo, by default, won't do CR/LF, just LF. About the only place that a CR/LF pair is still used is in DOS format text files.
It depends how you interpret things.
It certainly *does* echo a CR/LF pair to the screen because otherwise the cursor wouldn't return to the LHS.
I do agree though that it will only write an LF to the file. :-)
My answer did what the OP wanted anyway! :-)
