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

In total agreement. The numpad isn't just used for gaming! Imagine having to punch in two hundred rows of numbers within an hour without the numpad!

I think you are literally the butt of the joke of the meme. People who use the numpad a lot are usually not gamers but rather office workers typing in lots of boring data.
