Maybe you just bought into some myth:

I made my own layout because Azerty is unusable for programming; hitting three keys to produce an @ sign or a {} is inexcusable. And, since I play a lot of games, I wanted the default qwerty wasd keys.

But sure, I bought into some typing speed myth, whatever floats your boat. XKCD774.

Probably missed the whole "Maybe" thing I wrote.

In your case those are valid reasons and apply to several "national" layouts -- but there are many people who go for the cargo cult version too.
