Couldn't have summarized it better. But the reason why you don't see people play pinky for 7k is because the pinky is anatomically the weakest finger. You are objectively much better off playing with your thumb than your pinky. Regarding both thumbs, you can learn it if you want since it is preference, but Jakads has mentioned that it is not worth learning both thumbs, and that you might as well just learn 1. I personally use my left thumb(I'm right handed) and I use keys ZXC[space],./ on my keyboard.
Fun thought: I always wondered if anyone could play 7k with ring middle index thumb on one hand and middle index thumb on the other instead of the standard ring middle index thumb index middle ring layout. If you use this, it theoretically eliminates the difficulty of learning ring/middle finger independence on one hand entirely. I'm not sure how viable this is, but try experimenting!
