QWERTY is the open standard that allowed early typists to type at speed without the keys jamming due to letter pair frequency th and sh for example are common letter pairs and separating these letters in an early typewriter would lessen the number or frequency of jamming.

This form was adopted by other typewriter manufactures and has since become the standard even today, because the general consensus is that there are no advantages to alternative or specialized keyboards.

A keyboard in todays terms are manufactured to standards in each country they are released. and many variable types are in use today. A keyboard can be purchased that has the letters in sequence and specialized keyboards for physical impairments such as the Dvorak keyboard.
