See how much you love that keyboard a year from now once it's built up enough dust under there.

This is what I find to be the problem. I can get used to typing on it and it's even weird to go back to normal keyboards now. However, keys keep getting stuck due to dust and that is quite unacceptable.
My wife uses my previous MacBook 12" 2015. It's now over two years old and I used it day in and day out. The keyboard still works fine.

(The MacBook 12" also uses the butterfly mechanism, though the 2015 version uses the first iteration.)

Anecdotally my girlfriends 2015 Macbook with 1st gen butterfly switches suffers less of a problem than my MBP with 2nd gen switches
