People will actually avoid using their nondominant fingers like their ring or pinky. Its an issue with typing irrespective of layout. Its an issue with guitarplaying even. I am no pianist but I wouldn’t be surprised if new players have an aversion towards using those fingers as well.

I understand how dvorak is designed. I am still not convinced people will be using all their fingers especially their pinkys in a consistent manner that without learning that this is what you should work towards.

I really shouldn't be astonished at the number of people who will prioritize their own theorizing over the field report of someone who actually did the thing in question, but yet still somehow I am.

I did it. It happened. Theorizing about why it didn't happen is not terribly productive.
