This again. > Those keyboards were really bad, and not everyone has the ability to just swap them out with the new fancy computers coming out now, so many will be feeling them for some time to come. The butterfly keyboards are the only laptop keyboards made to date that I can type on for a full day. So speak for yourself: long may I be “stuck” with mine.

That is great, but they literally break. This isn't about ergonomics, but the fact that the keys literally stop working. I had no issue with the "feel" of the keyboard, I had an issue with my "T" key no longer doing anything, while my "E" key registered twice, sometimes three times, when I tapped it. The exact same keyboard without these issues would have been totally fine in my book (well, I suppose the TouchBar is a different story, but I digress). This is not a vilification of the "design" per se, but a well documented quality problem. Apple has had to extend replacement policies, etc. This was not some shared delusion we all had. They changed them for a reason.
