Undoubtedly, programmers are a major user of keyboards, and IDE developers love function keys for esoteric shortcuts for debugging, moving around, and running code. So why do so many split keyboards not actually have the function keys.

I think makers are missing out a huge audience.

I don't know if it exists, but I want a vertically staggered keeb, with F1-F24. Why does this not exist (and if it does, it'll cost 700 EUR) ;_;
