Makes total sense to me and it is in accordance with "good U/I design practices": when building on an existing design do not alter the basic layout!

Since the hardware has one column more on the keyboard, unfortunately you had to change the layout anyhow.
And I prefer to find two among the most used keys where my muscle memory knows they are. :)
