Probably because the clerks of the Habsburg Empire that started using
typewriters in Slovakia got them from elsewhere and didn't use them to
write Slovakian? Because Slovaks used Czech as their written
language from the 15th to the 19th century?
Come on, if typewriters are any indication of a people's cleverness,
then the QWERTY system will forever exclude western civilization from
any claim to intelligence.
