I feel that I am more likely to brush a neighboring key and that key is more likely to trigger on the butterfly keyboard of my 2017 work machine than on my 2014 home machine. I end up doing a lot more corrections on the butterfly keyboard.

It seems like the tighter spacing and lower travel result in more unintentional key presses.

Yes, I think the keyboard needs the typist to adapt to it more than is appropriate for a mass market keyboard. I had the 2014 also and had to unlearn how I rested my hands on it and touched it. Not everyone will equally succeed at that, as evidenced by my coworkers who are still hitting the 2017-2019 keys way too hard.
