IIUC, the drawback is that adjusting the split window becomes impossible 
for users unable to operate a mouse, breaking one of the basic a11y 
principles as defined e.g. in WCAG 2.2: "Make all functionality 
available from a keyboard." [1]

In case of removing the feature, I think asking on the a11y mailing list 
might give more useful input.

Is there maybe a way to have the benefits without losing the functionality?

As it's not fully clear to me from your previous email and looking at 
the Gerrit change: Is the benefit mainly that Ctrl+Shift+F6 becomes 
available for other purposes? (If so: Could changing the shortcut for 
the existing functionality (and/or making it configurable) possibly be 
an alternative?)
Or can you describe the benefits more clearly?
