The accuracy measurement is flawed, because the firmware of the device is deleting chorded letters and retyping the chorded word, which artificially reduces accuracy

If it's happening at the firmware level why wouldn't it just resolve the word internally and output only the completed word to the PC?

Yes. It’s actually artificially increasing accuracy.
