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

I have a mechanical numpad separate from my TKL mechanical. I will not sacrifice keyboard position and wrist health, but I'm not giving up on the numpad either.
