This is dope.

I can already hear the trolls making jokes about women being concerned about breaking a nail. If it’s so inconvenient, why not just have short nails?

I read the article. It still is the better solution.
You can’t have a solution if you ignore half of the problem statement. It’s completely unhelpful.
Problem: I want to be able to type better while having long nails.

Sometimes, project requirements are shitty from the start. This one definitely is.
As a straight dude, my first internal knee-jerk reaction was “this is such a stupid solution to a stupid problem”, but then my mental “Don’t be an asshat because not everybody is like you” guard rail kicked in.
Clearly this is a product for a market of people that it works for and I’m happy for them. Enjoy your neat keyboard thing, long nailed peeps.
