New(er) to the trend, and I was just curious if there were any particular uses for when one key profile is better ergonomically/functionally/etc or if it's always more just an aesthetic/preference reason

One idea comes to my mind pretty quick. If you're not using qwerty or have an unusual layout, keybinds for certain apps turns into a sudden project. It would definitely affect gamers who frequently switch games and rely heavily on default keybinds and standard keyboard layouts. Just switching to a basic qwerty layout for gaming would simplify that quite a lot

This ... I've been a Dvorak typist for 15+ years. I have a querty layer for gaming, and a second Dvorak layer for when I switch from Windows to MAC so that I can use my same single key chords (cut / copy / paste / undo / redo / etc).
