EDIT I meant rather writos/misspellings eg. handwriting “earth” like “erath” without any particular reason or “czuwać” as “czówać” (“u” and “ó” sounds and meands the same in polish”). Sorry for mess

Why would you ask a question, and then automatically discount a huge chunk of the answer?
It can vary from situation to situation but muscle memory can be a big one, especially if you are switching to a different device. All the laptops I’ve used in the past all have really different spacing between the kids, primarily dependent on whether they have a number pad or not. It makes typing really odd when I’m getting used to a different keyboard as I keep trying to over or under reach for various keys.
There’s many different reasons people spell words wrong.
Typos in English are usually particular to using a keyboard. It simply means you hit the wrong key.
spelling a word wrong while handwriting usually means that you don’t know how to spell it. Or in the case of swapping letters around like in your examples above, its often a result of adhd or dyslexia.
I’m dyslexic and will often put the right letters in the wrong place, unless I write very slowly. I write the word “the” as “teh” constantly, it happens with typing as well, “earth” as “erath” and so on..
In the case of a word they do know how to spell, sometimes people get bored and unfocused because a task is so easy. This is a symptom of ADD/ADHD. It’s why I misspell my own name quite often. My brain is like “Oh come on give me a challenge!” and just leaves so I miss a letter. This is simply one explanation
