100% this. Wikipedia article on qwerty:

"The QWERTY layout became popular with the success of the Remington No. 2 of 1878...

"The 0 key was added and standardized in its modern position early in the history of the typewriter, but the 1 and exclamation point were left off some typewriter keyboards into the 1970s."

There's always a few oddball variations. But desk work will probably use a qwerty keyboard in the year 2100
