As a former iOS engineer at Apple, and a dvorak user, I can verify that this is exactly the thinking (during my time) of why dvorak support wasn't a development priority. The prope…

I've been working in climate tech for about 7 years now, at https://sense.com . Very fulfilling. We're hiring in lots of roles. Feel free to get in touch. (Email in profile.)
