I looked at the heatmaps, then looked at my keyboard. The keys with rubbed out labels nearly match his findings 100%. My 'N' isn't (only because the key is slightly larger than my other keys). Other than that, he is spot on.

Interesting thought about the labels. Mine mostly do not match.

In fact, on my keyboard, N is the most-obliterated key label, followed by MAD<. Also damaged: GHSECV. I think I can blame ASD on games, and E should be obvious. So why are CVNM< so very heavily worn? My best guess is that the labels are on the upper section of the keys, which is presumably the laziest part of the key for my fingers to reach?

I'm curious, why do you have a large N key?
Ergonomic style split keyboard, I'm guessing?

Yeah, that's the one. I use this for my office keyboard and a Logitech G510 at home.
