Some distributions take this more seriously than others. Debian, historically, is the largest stickler about this. I've had to delay packaging things for licensing problems[1], written 1000+ line d/copyright files[2], etc. Not all distributions will take the investigations that seriously. I'm not saying that Debian always gets it right either! Just, there's an emphasis on doing so.

Chording keyboards have become significantly more popular among software engineers, although they're still not popular in an absolute sense. Check out https://www.openstenoproject.org/ and its Discord server for a vibrant community consisting primarily of student and professional stenographers and software engineers. (Note that the focus is on two-handed chording). For me, a chording keyboard system is significantly more ergonomic than e.g. Dvorak. However, it doesn't improve productivity for coding itself; on the other hand, it's very useful for writing design documentation and messaging coworkers. But it's a large investment for what many people consider small gains. I personally own a 3D-printed steno keyboard, which I bought some 3 or 4 years ago.
