Why do so many split keyboards not have "F" keys? (programming.dev)

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.

Well they go on a layer. If you don’t need to hit them at the same time they can be on different layers.
