Every keyboard I used so far - and those were many, many, many - have the ctrl in the bottom left.

Lenovo is the only weird excemption I experienced.

So I believe people like me are the vast majority and you should maybe rather blame them, for introducing this weirdness in the first place.

Apple has put the Fn key to the left of Ctrl since they added Fn to their laptops in 1998.

Lenovo is the “weird exception” because thinkpads have always had the Fn key on the bottom left. Just like they still keep the track point.

I would presume most people buying a thinkpad don’t want to buy “the vast majority” of laptops.
