Or maybe it's a result of people not thinking about keyboards much? Technology evolution is driven by profit from a solid userbase, and right now the userbase is fairly small, so there isn't much extra money for R&D.

While there may not be much evolution in switches, there is a lot of recent evolutions in keyBOARDs. Some examples: two new versions of the ergodox announced more or less simultaneously: ErgoDox Infinity https://www.massdrop.com/buy/infinity-ergodox?mode=guest_open https://www.massdrop.com/buy/infinity-ergodox?mode=guest_ope... ErgoDox EZ https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/ergodox-ez-an-incredible-mechanical-keyboard https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/ergodox-ez-an-incredible-... Massdrop's Infinity https://www.massdrop.com/article/the-story-behind-infinity-a-community-designed-keyboard https://www.massdrop.com/article/the-story-behind-infinity-a...
