One might be using a keyboard layout in which some special characters are cumbersome to type. I am switching between 3 layouts regularly and "[" and "|" are only fun on QWERTY, on AZERTY or QWERTZ they are painful.

That would be painful. But I hear these comments from a lot of Americans. QWERTY is also pretty common in Europe in general, so I don't think the frequency of the comments (aligned with the quality of English) lines up.
