Why aren't there more glow in the dark keyboards for a more passive form of keyboard backlighting? (leminal.space)

Is it because the glow would fade after a year or two? Even if it's not cost effective compared to adding to LEDs I thought it would be a novelty thing.

I did a quick search online and it doesn't seem very common. Mostly keyboard covers.

I'm not certain OP understands how GITD works, or that you could do translucent keycaps at a reduced brightness 😬

I know it fades. I'm not talking about bringing back the radium girls here.

What do you think I am misunderstanding?
