This is the answer.  But it's just so weird that keyboards with number keypads are sold with general-purpose machines.  Perhaps it's because really a lot of people spend really a lot of time typing numbers into spreadsheets, which itself is weird in 2025.  But I suspect that, in fact, it's all VisiCalc's fault: PCs only existed because of VisiCalc, and so PCs, in 1980, really needed keyboards which made typing lots of numbers easy.
