I care about touch typing using the keys I frequently interact with in the editing experience. F-keys, as you say, may be used for adjusting brightness, or sound, but this is not in my editing experience. I’m not repeatedly adjusting sound or brightness unlike for instance the esc key in vim.

I would also say it’s worth saying a lot of developers don’t actually touch type, or have grown more used to GUI workflows. The idea of a hardcore developer building software with their mouse turned upside down is one that I find outdated.
