Clearly, its the tap dance feature within open source firmware, QMK, that is rising in popularity. People just want to be able to double tap and tap and hold for extra functionality on their keyboard and trackballs.

So relieved I wasn't the only one thinking this

Damn I need a qmk compatible keyboard

Don't forget the trackball!

If they have vial compatible (qmk) firmware then you can configure the tap dance from the gui rather than having to customise and compile your own key map.

Not to be confused with via, which doesn't support tap dance.
