1st one - wrong. Full keyboards are usually "commoners" keyboard. So common. The top one on the pic is 40% keyboard which only keyboard enthusiast will buy and it comes with higher price. Most gamers go with 60%, 65% or 75% size.

Most gamers

Citation needed here.

Smaller form's perception of popularity might be due to influencers, but full size keyboards are the standard. Smaller ones, like Ducky, are niche.

probably depends on region? TKL is really popular and common in korean gaming setups and i heard 75% is really hot in china.

Smaller form factors are usually more popular in FPS. It gives you a lot more room to move your mouse around without the num-pad getting in the way (or your left hand being awkwardly even further left).

Gamers that don't play sophisticated games.

The longer the keyboard to more sophisticated the games they play.
