What needs to be happen to make Dvorak more popular than QWERTY?

Question

The August Dvorak's layout is just better than QWERTY one. It is faster for typing, easier to learn touchtyping, and having several layouts for different kinds of people (like programmers who needs symbols as often as letters or persons with only one hand functional). It is not a layout with least finger travelling possible (BTW, QWERTY's finger travelling is tremendous), but a killer feature of Dvorak layout is hand alteration while typing because of location of aoeui keys. This handy feature makes my typing on English language even more comfortable than typing on my mother language.AFAIK, in some schools there is typing lessons - but why no one learns Dvorak mandatory? Why there is so hard to find a keyboard with Dvorak layout instead of QWERTY? And the main question - is there any hypothetical ways of breaking the QWERTY monopoly which exists for no good reason?

What needs to happen to make right-hand drive cars more popular than left-hand drives? RHD is safer for driving, easier to control, and works better for one-handed people.
The reality is - there is no significant improvement between QWERTY and Dvorak. At least, not one which is worth the cost of switching.
Some countries have switched from LHD to RHD. But it is complicated.
These days, nothing is stopping you using Dvorak. Either buy a USB keyboard or switch your virtual one.

Nobody learns Dvorak because you'll never get a Dvorak keyboard at work. Not everyone is able to choose their hardware, nor wants to.
