At least when coding, having one hand free doesn't sound like an advantage. And generally, typing on a regular keyboard is fast enough for how fast I think, if that makes sense, i.e. typing speed is never the bottleneck really. And I guess it's way easier to get started with a regular keyboard. I started when I was 8, and I don't think a chorded keyboard would have helped. You can go from looking at the keyboard and typing with one finger to using multiple fingers and not looking all the time to learning proper 10 fingers step by step. Chorded Keyboards offer benefits only to very few people. Even going to Dvorak or that neo layout already takes too much effort for the vast majority, even if it might make their workflow even smoother once they master it. Qwerty is that "good enough" thing.
