Why aren't there more glow in the dark keyboards for a more passive form of keyboard backlighting? (leminal.space)

Is it because the glow would fade after a year or two? Even if it's not cost effective compared to adding to LEDs I thought it would be a novelty thing.

I did a quick search online and it doesn't seem very common. Mostly keyboard covers.

Glow in the dark compounds have to be charged with light and don't last but minutes.

If you're talking about stuff like tritium, you're talking about $1,000 keyboards.

Am I missing an option?
