Again, I didn't specify dust. My point was that keyboards are susceptible to getting sticky from different ways. It's an accepted potential issue.

Most well engineered keyboards are splash resitant and easy to clean if they get sticky.

But that is not the problem. The problem is really that the keyboard is susceptible to a problem that 99.9% of other keyboards are not, even on laptops.

A complete failure of operation because of dust is inacceptable on a device that will be expose to a lot of environmental dust from being in laptop bags or having people carry them around to eat or similar.
