Not quite the case, thankfully. I'm left handed and greatly benefit from this style of keyboard layout. I tend to notice that I'm more finger-agile with my left hand, which helps with quickly chained left hand shortcuts (C-z/x/c/v/a/s/tab, M-x, anything with shift or windows) and WASD movement.

As for the right, as some other commenters have noted it really isn't that bad to use your non-dominant hand with a mouse. Most of the movement precision comes from the wrist and elbow, rather than finer finger control.
