You are not meant to bottom out on mechanical switches, you press them until the switch actuates and then stop pressing. The advantage is that if you keep pressing a little bit after it actuates, you don't hit a hard wall. The travel distance is not that much and different switches have different resistance.
Unlike the chiclet keys, where they trigger at the bottom, so you are always bottoming out and pushing against a "wall".
Everyone has different problems though. I have no problems from hurting my fingers when typing, or carpel tunnel. But I do have messed up shoulders, and having them internally rotated all day is my biggest issue.
The biggest relief for me was a fully split keyboard so that I can have my shoulders neutral rather than rotated. Other people have no problems with their shoulders.
Most of these ergonomic things do help _someone_, I wouldn't claim that they don't work just because they don't help you.
