If there is not an issue with left handed usage, then it is an excuse. It
is not an assumption or implication. Based on other responses to this
thread, I do not seem to be alone in finding left handed usage to be no
more difficult than right handed usage. Right handed usage has its own
problems. I am definitely talking about one handed thumb usage.

It is good to voice your concerns, but I'm still not convinced this is an
issue. Can you link to this discussion thread on OmgUbuntu? It would be
good see.
