The same applies to all these dimensions. They are not completely random and most will be normally distributed when measured. Also, as I said keyboards can accommodate multiple lenghts e.g. by having multiple thumb keys where you use a subset of them.
At any rate, I have seen plenty of folks who had issues like wrist pains, etc. that were resolved by improving posture, taking regular breaks, doing exercises and switching to a split, tented keyboard (just a boring one with a traditional layout like a Freestyle).
Only people who went (too?) far down the rabbit hole do all these micro-optimizations and proclaim that their keyboard is 'the end game' after having used it for a few weeks. Until the next end game :).

Personally I just suggest going to a keyboard meetup and trying out a bunch of ergos and picking the design you find most comfortable. I lucked into the Mitosis layout in 2017 (literally, I won it in a raffle) and have used it ever since. True endgame.

- CarVac 4y agoIt's simple statistics. The chance of every parameter not being an outlier is small. https://www.thestar.com/news/insight/2016/01/16/when-us-air-force-discovered-the-flaw-of-averages.html https://www.thestar.com/news/insight/2016/01/16/when-us-air-... "Even more surprising, when Daniels averaged all his data, the average hand did not resemble any individual’s measurements. There was no such thing as an average hand size."
