I have also noticed this effect with the layout; I find the common staggered layout on keyboards encourages people to use the wrong finger for a couple keys, especially with fast typing speeds where you intuitively start optimising movements.

An ortholinear layout makes those keys only easily accessible with the correct fingers, and overcoming that part of the muscle memory was the hardest part of the switch for me.

And what's even better is vertical stagger according to finger lengths; this increases comfort when typing significantly in my experience, especially on very small keyboards.
