Imagine you are disabled and only have the use of one finger.
How do you press "Ctrl-C, Ctrl-V"?
Stickykeys allows you to use your one functioning finger to press Ctrl then release it, then press C and release it, and you'll have done the equivalent of pressing both at the same time.
And how would they program that keyboard? Why should they need to buy extra hardware? Instead, it's offered on every copy of Windows, and activated in a standard way that doesn't require multiple simultaneous keys. They can walk up to a library shared computer, or something at work, and start using it.
It's annoying when it gets in the way of gaming, but face it: pressing shift 5 times is not something you do accidentally in most apps outside of gaming.
