I did this once with a terrible script that just recorded keys with... I forget, probably either xev or `xinput test`. Anyways, yes, huge potential security/privacy risk but IMO it's fine if you keep it local and don't persist to disk without encryption (read: put the file on an encrypted filesystem or tmpfs). I specifically didn't want just the per-key total presses because I was interested in use of shortcuts and common substrings (IIRC I was looking at what to make macros of to save typing); if you just care about what actual keys get pressed the most and are only looking at rearranging the same keys then aggregation might make it safer.
