    They’re referring to the fact that pretty much everyone in the comments defended why we still use QWERTY over any different keyboard.

    Usually when people say “Big ____” they’re referring to giant corportations pushing their agendas for profit against the wellbeing or benefit of society. In this instance, it’s certainly being used in a tongue-in-cheek manner.

    They’re joking essentially that people who vehemently defend qwerty are perhaps a little brainwashed.

    It is known that there are keyboard layouts which are more efficient and faster (qwerty came about as a means of preventing typewriter arms from hitting each other), but none have become mainstream because everyone’s used to qwerty.
