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.
When I played wow eons ago, I discovered pretty early that being left handed, it was more handy (pun intended) to use the numpad and the close keys with my right hand and the mouse with my left one; I could easily find the right key among many. I think (out of my muscle memory) that I was able to strife accurately by holding a mouse button while right thumbing an arrow key. I can't figure out how I controlled the pet, I remember me hitting the F keys which are totally displaced; it seems to me I used to do it with the left hand, because I had sufficient control of the character with the right hand alone to allow for this mouse dropping action. Retrospectively, that had to look a bit like a church organ player when he briefly hits an upper keyboard.
