> Why are so many mechanical keyboards tiny? They don't want to spend the money for more switches?

Yes, to some extent at least. But maybe more the pcb, plate, case etc. I have a pcb for a ms natural style keyboard (without the numpad) and the effective size is 40x15 cm (16x6 inches). Not that expensive to get in China, but I guess it is has also become fashion with smaller boards now. I think the whole thing sort of started with modifying pok3r, ducky, ninja type keyboards

That sounds like exactly what I want. Are you selling a keyboard around it? I don't need the numpad, but after 10+ years of ms natural, I'm used to the remainder of the layout.

Unfortunately not in the foreseeable future. It is a couple of years old at this point, and I haven't really tested it either. I think you would also need palm rests to recreate the experience well enough.
