Text algorithms (swipe, prediction and autocorrection) create issues on performances of the mobile devices (swiftkey for instance is super slow) and often mistakes due to misunderstanding meaning slowing down the typing experience.
Thank you for the comments. Please note that I made this Keybee Keyboard first for myself because I could not type good in a qwerty smartphone.
Secondly I decided to make it for everyone and give it for free (free apps and no ads). I invested a lot of time, passion and money just to create a better typing experience for more people.
I also decided to protect my idea because, in case of success, I can tranform this project in a full time job. There's nothing wrong on that an nobody obliges you to use it as your definitive keyboard.
Happy 2018..!!!

That does absolutely nothing to answer my question. You show a QWERTY layout in the center, from a Windows Phone device, with every letter key the same size relative to one another as I said above.
Maybe I'm just not smart enough to see the difference from a slide with screenshots and captions that make dubious statements, but I'd appreciate if you would explain anyway.
Of course. There is no difference between qwerty and keybee in term of instantness. The difference is between other alternative layouts which claims to be quicker even if they do not shows all the letters (lack of instantness).
Qwerty as Keybee shows all the letters at the same size. But Keybee can show them two times bigger than qwerty thanks to the hex structure.
No need to be flipped because the Keybee arrangement starts from the center of the keyboard. So it is optimized for left and right handed at the same time.
I thought you did not understand but rethinking I think Marco is mostly right, actually.
If I am a right hand user, the right part of my keyboard is covered by my hand, and is easier to be used. I've seen this in keyboard which don't have any keys on a 1/4th circle on the bottom right of the screen.
If I am a left hand user, the left part of my keyboard is covered by my hand and is easier to be used. But the left part of the keyboard has less important keys than the right part.
Essentially, a mirror of the keyboard would be more optimal for left hand users. Although the issue is less important than on say QWERTY. Because the amount of space on the outer rings (most strain) is still the same for left and right hand users. And that's Marco's point.
The amount of space your fingers can move back is smaller than the amount of space they can reach up. Going back puts more strain on the fingers. (Anecdotal experience.) (EDIT: and the arm, as well.)
