Whether you, like me, beleive that QAZWSX keyboards make far more sense, especially in a machine learning world, I think we all agree a layout designed to circumvent jamming typewriter keys doesn’t make sense in modern society on modern devices.

True. But the rule of thumb is that in order to replace an existing working solution, a new model needs to be at least ten times better in quantifiable ways. Otherwise it’s worth staying with the established solution.
What’s ten times better than qwerty?
Have you ever tried to type on your phone in landscape while still seeing the content? That’s 8 times better in itself.
“Have you ever tried to do this thing you’ll never actually need to do?”
It sounds a hell of a lot more like you’re trying to automate text communication
Wait, you’ve never had to type on your phone in landscape? Never played a game and had to type a message in chat? Never had to type while watching a video? Never had to do something in terminal and the text wasn’t legible in portrait? 🥹
