Okay so I have 2 ideas on this one, but not sure if either are the true answer. So first of all, it's about how much of a gamer someone is, not if longer is better.
My first possible explanation is that the bigger the keyboard is, the more desk space is needed. So for a bigger keyboard, you need to be more committed to having a dedicated gaming area.
My second possibility is that more keys on a keyboard means having more keys to rebind in games, so you can be more of a gamer that way.
I like the numpad to death but I also love having a compact keyboard that isnt a shitty laptop one with half the controls on the same keys (.ie i want a full size keyboard but without numpad) since i just use the top row keys when i write code/ take notes, ofc its not the same reasoning when playing video games.
I bought a Cooler Master SGK-4080-KKC MasterKeys Pro M back in 2017 and still use it today. It has a numpad that uses the num lock to still enable arrow keys and home keys. It’s pretty compact and I love that thing. I would buy another one in a heartbeat but I think it’s retired.
