This is part of the wheel :) people dont challenge things enough, for example
the keyboards we use, the most accessible area is around the thumbs, and we have one giant button there, instead of 4-5 super nice buttons, this leads to carpal syndrome and all kinds of issues, and yet, now in every school they teach computer classes and touch typing to 10-13 year old kids, who cant reach backspace without twisting their wrist 45 degrees, and in the same time on windows ctrl+h just does not work in 99% of the apps. So those kids will grow up and rarely think about using a different keyboard.
It is not that easy to break out of the "dont reinvent the wheel", as "the wheel" is beaten into you since you were 5 years old.
