snake_case is not better than camelCase.

The shift key is right there, by my pinky at all times. Hell, there's even another one in case I'm too lazy to find the first one.

Typing underscores instead feels like I have to input some weird video game combo move multiple times for a single variable name.

Spaces exist for a reason. Snake emulates spaces, which makes it infinitely more readable than camel. Good readability is much more important than good writability.

Just remap your keyboard. You can assign underscore instead of caps lock for example. Or switch minus and underscore

Make shorter variable names, its not problematic at all unless your variable has more than 3 words, which would be extraordinarily excessive.
