Row stagger does not make sense because it was not designed to make sense. It is a remnant of the typewriter technical reasons where there had to be levers going north from each key, so the rows were staggered so that the levers would not intersect in space.

I jumped to column-staggered boards the moment they became available, have proper keyboards both at home and the office, and regard the laptop keyboard only as a failsafe device.
