What's up with the onscreen keyboard to type your username?

I guess it cuts down on scripts automatically opening and abusing accounts ?
How? You can still type in the box.
Maybe it's to work around public computers with keyloggers?
That's a bit odd. Normally the edit box is grayed out.

I have even seen, in some cases, these pictorial keyboards coming up with scrambled key arrangements.

Bit annoying for real users. But way harder for scripties.
