It is absolutely the layout, but ergonomic keyboards are still great. I built a Pinky4 split keyboard and it didn't solve pain in my right hand caused by Dvorak. After learning Workman (50/50 balanced hand usage unlike any other layout I know of), the pain is gone.

The split helps by moving stuff like modifiers, space, and backspace to thumb keys, it just wasn't "enough" on its own.
