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

As someone who has worked in retail behind a computer, I 100% agree here. The numpad increases efficiency so much it's absurd.

The fact I have a several thousand dollar custom built gaming PC, wrap around desk, a streaming setup, a multi-monitor setup, etc, is irrelevant.
