I am fond of keyboard layouts so I beg you to name any works proving your point. Because Colemak and Workman are layouts for Ctrl-C Ctrl-V folks while August Dvorak was not bonded with need to follow somebody's muscular memory.

Worse, he Designed DVORAK for use in typewriters to keep them from jamming! (Vowels on the left ) colemak on the other hand used algorithms to put keys in the most useful places, while still maintaining muscle memory for copy paste and cut. It is very easy to look up comparisons between DVORAK and Colemak to see that Colemack is objectively more efficient.

I use DVORAK on my phone however because with two finger thumb typing and no ability to roll your letters , Having the Vowels under One thumb is more efficient.
