Apple’s butterfly keyboard failed by prioritizing form over function

I don't actually mind the butterfly keyboard. Back in 2016 I got one of the first laptops with the it, the 12" MacBook, and I'm still using it daily. Also had a 2017 15" which I just upgraded to the new 16". Zero issues with both, and I haven't babied them at all.

While there's not a lot of key travel, it is very clicky and feels satisfying for me to type on. Individual keys are also very stable.

Not sure why you're being downvoted - my experience mirrors yours. I've just swapped from a 2018 MBP with the last (final?) iteration of the butterfly mechanism to a 2020 13" MBP with the new keyboard and in all honesty I preferred the butterfly.
