I'm not a huge fan it has a Windows logo printed on it, but there are good usability reasons for the key, even on non-Windows systems, and there was just a big hunk of empty space between Ctrl and Alt before. So nothing is really lost for non-Windows users. It seems to me there are more pressing matters to get angry about than the logo on a keyboard.
And whether we like or not not, Windows is the dominant desktop OS, so "OS operations key" having the Windows logo i not entirely nonsensical really. Almost every non-technical person uses Windows, and even within the technical crowd Windows is probably the most common system.
Bit less of a case for the "Copilot key", although it remains to be seen if "becomes mandatory over time" will come to pass.
This empty space can be a feature for emacs users who use the outside of their opposite palm for actuating the ctrl or alt keys.
I personally gave up on this approach years ago because it was only viable on my IBM model M which is hard to transport. Instead now I always remap caps to ctrl, that way no matter what keyboard I'm using it feels familiar.
