Apple tried to kill the function keys, a pretty modest attempt at a change, and was hit so hard they rolled back, which is very rare for them. It's really hard

It's really hard to beat the current design, as obviously flawed as it is. The next thing has to be a whole lot better.

Even if you ignore that the software support never really got there since it only existed as a feature on expensive MacBook Pros, it just wasn't better. The lack of any feedback makes it hard to use without having to look down at it and made it really easy to trigger something when reaching for a key like delete. I've literally brought up Siri on my MBP hundreds of times by accident before I gave up and made it a space that does nothing.
