I can believe it. For a physical keyboard, I would much prefer a layout with a DVORAK-like home row, but probably not for mobile. The imprecision of touch and swiping text entry likely do markedly worse when high frequency characters are on top of each other.

I'm sure somebody has created a software keyboard where the more used characters are simply larger than the less used ones.

I believe software does that, in that characters are disambiguated in part based on previous characters, even without swipe typing. That means each character is mapped to a secondary keyboard layout where certain keys' "hitbox" are enlarged.
