I'm coming to realize that framing this as a programmer-only issue receives a lot of deserved pushback. I think that in the future I'll re-frame the issue as a "person on a computer" thing.
I think about the next 30+ years of my life, spent sitting in front of a computer, most days. If it takes me 1 extra second every time I have to look at my hands to hunt+peck, and 3 extra seconds every time I have to mouse instead of using a keyboard shortcut, and I do those things hundreds of times each day... it adds up to a few days each year. I don't want to look back at my life at 60 and think "wow I'm sure glad I spent three entire months moving my hand over to the mouse and back."
