You're right. E is the most used letter in English and yet, it's a finger away from d on the homerow keys. The top keys are very easy to access, so I have no clue how you would have a problem with e being on the top row.
So what, you want people in English countries to switch from qwerty because....? It's not inefficient and it gets the job done. So you want to stall the work force, retrain workers and people who have been using qwerty their whole lives, order new keyboards, and have every single piece of technology switch their keyboards that millions - billions - around the world use because...in English the most used letter e is one finger away from d and that's just too much work?
lol. More than that, comparing it to cursive makes no sense. Cursive is pointless and just tradition for the sake of tradition and no one uses cursive anyways, qwerty however IS used, and it's used because it works and there's too much hassle replacing it because of bullshit.
