> kids typically do not master touch typing by that age.
That's wrong, I have an experience of learning 9yo touchtyping with Dvorak as the first step to learning both how to program and how to learn English from scratch. It took no more than 6 hours of continuous work or 2 weeks of a full from zero to hero routine.
I also had experience with brilliant kids during my teaching side-career, but my statement is still true: kids TYPICALLY do not master touch typing by that age. In fact, it's extremely rare based on the kids I know and knew in the past.
Still wrong, it should not be the kid's choice, it should be the teacher's choice. As well as choose of hardware and OS, it just should not be the kid's choice because all they want by their own choice is consuming the capitalists' dark patterns.
BTW adults also typically do not master touchtyping, typically they have some advanced 4-fingers hunt-and-peck approach, and do not have a need to progress.
