Rust guys want to make the kernel safer, more expressive, and easier to maintain. To do that they need to know how the kenrnel talks between its parts to ensure they are creating matching behavior. The C guys don't really care about the Rust guys and say that they can't be bothered to guarantee interoperability because they like to change how things work on the C side to make things better in the C code.

It's not about being able to push both movement buttons at the same time, it's about being able to push more buttons in general. For hero shooters, mobas, MMOs, and other games with lots of inputs spreading out your reachable keys is really good.

Asdf is just better for general key availability imo

It's literally just drivers that enable user choice. Steam OS is great and nobody reasonable is switching, but for those that do it's good that they have support for the hardware.

Cognitive dissonance? Not supporting bigotry is wholly unrelated to this issue. Also who calls gay people homosexuals? Just say gays like a normal person ffs

Seems like you're talking about heat pump (technology) and I'm talking about heat pump (commercial product)

But yeah, heat pumps (technology) are used in lots of every day places.

And some companies even install AC only mini splits.

It is the exact same hardware running in different configurations, all that changes is refrigerant flow direction.

As far as I understand that's exactly what's been happening behind the scenes.

Yes, an air conditioner is a heat pump with a fixed orientation, what basically equates to a handful of valves to switch the direction of the refrigerant. The actual expensive parts that generate the temperature difference are identical between the two machines.
