The Dvorak layout is there, but maybe not where you expect: you have to
first select, say, the “English (US)” layout, which brings you to a
second page where you can choose a variant, one of which is Dvorak
(screenshot below.)

Note that this is the classification taken from the X Keyboard
extension (XKB).

HTH!

Thanks,
Ludo’.
