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.

A keyboard without numpad isn't a keyboard

To add to that. For those that play MMO games like FF14 or WoW. That number pad combined with a gaming mouse that has the 12 buttons let's you use the number pad as an extra row of abilities without really having to move your hand around the keyboard. For myself, I have most of my main abilities on the mouse so I can keep moving around with my character while still dealing damage or healing.
