With software keyboards it would make sense to offer alternative keyboard layouts. For physical keyboards the cost of producing different keypads is probably just too high for the small number of people using English non-QWERTY layouts. If someone wants to pay the premium though more power to them. The last time I took a typing test about a year ago I was doing 160WPM on QWERTY so I cannot accept there's any inherent limitation in the design that prevents fast input.
