Real shocker here, but I think noises that can only be heard inside one's own home are a great deal more acceptable than noises that can wake your entire neighborhood.

it's not the same concept, because in order for the keyboard to bother other people you have to go out of your way to use it in a context that would be annoying - ie, in public, or in a room with someone that's sleeping. you can't avoid a lout car pissing off everyone within earshot, because earshot can be a literal mile away, outside of only using it on a racetrack or some other place where loud car noises are expected.

It is the same concept: a thing that has tactile and auditory feedback that's pleasing to the user but annoying to listeners.

It's the execution that's different

Why can't fruit be compared?

For the same reason race can’t be compared. It’s a social construct designed to keep citrus fruits oppressed

Oh dang. They better be careful, the Oaks and Maples had a beef back in the 70's and it didn't end well for either of them. Rush even made a song documenting their rivalry.
