Because before the age of computers, keyboards already existed in word processors and even earlier typewriters. These keyboards had to be standardised so a trained secretary for instance could use any typewriter in any office or if the boss kindly purchased a new one for her. The position of the keys on a keyboard relate to the amount of usage they get when typing English with both hands. So the most common letters are the vowels A,E,I,O and U and you will see A and E on the left hand side and I,O and U on the right hand side. Next common letter is S and so on. All these keyboards are called qwerty keyboards because those are the letters in top left as if you were reading from a page.
