Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought that Grafitti was written by Palm
initially to address the abysmal recognition in the Tandy/Casio/AST Zoomer.
(Palm had written the PIM software for this contemporary of the OMP.)

Now *that* was a PDA with a lousy reognizer.

I can't speak for those who are left-handed. That Grafitti was created
specifically to address the needs of left-handers (or even for that matter,
specifically for the Newton) is news to me. At that time in history there
were more than two true 'written input' recognizers. Paragraph & Grafitti
were just the 'best of the lot' in many ways (mainly they worked, mostly).
