Well, that’s because they removed it after WW2. The original IBM keyboard had this, and other Nazi symbolism. (IBM collaborated with the Nazis, if you weren’t aware)
Another fun fact: the Windows logo today is where the swastika used to be. If you look closely, you can see how the swastika’s influence on Microsoft’s iconic logo persists to this very day
I thought it had more to do with the fact that there isn’t a ≠ key on most people’s keyboards.

You’re just improvising bullshit now…
To be fair, there is a book called IBM and the Holocaust, and there is one instance of a typewriter with a special swastika key. It’s at the far right, topmost row. Typewriters like that, however, were made under “very rare circumstances”, according to this piece on Slate, which also happens to have photos of several German typewriters of the time.
As for the Windows thing, that’s nutty bullshit
