Absolutely not.  Your opinions about keyboards are only shared by
an apparent minority of one: yourself.

Every computer keyboard I've used since the mid-1960s has had the
[Ctrl] key to the left of [A].  I use keyboards 12-16 hours a day
and have NEVER had any RSI or other problems and I've "typed" over
millions of lines of code over a 50 year span (I'm now retired but
I still develop and write a *LOT* of code (programs, scripts, HTML,
etc.)).

My current keyboard can be seen here:

If you can't accept that, go pound some sand.  :-)
