They'll just use all the other methods they have to track what your typing.

Researchers had artificial intelligence listen to the sounds of typing through a phone and over Zoom, with eerie results.

This was kinda overstated though. It really only works when you already have a dataset of that specific type on that specific keyboard. It's not gonna just work on anyone.
