I own two Glove80s, but for me the ultimate split keyboard with a thumb cluster was the Dygma Defy, of which I now own two pairs as well. Couldn't recommend it enough. https://dygma.com/pages/defy
It took a few weeks to get used to, but now that I've got the muscle memory down it's a blast to use. Having function layers makes so much sense once you get used to them. Why use Control + C and Control + V and the hand cortortion it causes on a daily basis when you can hold down the G letter key and then press j/k to copy/paste. The thumb cluster is quite handy as well, I have one button mapped to a custom script that I run dozens of times a day.
What point are you making here? The author of the review doesn't seem to be affiliated with any keyboard. Are you suggesting the distributor of the MoErgo Glove80 provided the author with this image and/or a general narrative?
The designers were extra mindful of different thumb lengths, making it so that you can usually find a configuration that will feel natural and not cramp up your joints: https://dygma.com/blogs/product-development/how-we-developed...

The “correct way” is garbage. Maybe useful for reaching 300 WPM. But not useful for having usable wrists.
As a coder, the “correct way“ isn’t all that useful anyway.
