Why do so many split keyboards not have "F" keys? (self.mechanical_keyboards)

Undoubtedly, programmers are a major user of keyboards, and IDE developers love function keys for esoteric shortcuts for debugging, moving around, and running code. So why do so many split keyboards not actually have the function keys.

I think makers are missing out a huge audience.

Dude, that's why I want an IBM Model F! F for tons of function keys obviously!
