Unfortunately, numpad keyboards and 16:9 are the most common, cheapest options. They would have serious trouble sourcing non-common keyboards and 16:10 displays from, well, anywhere.

For the price, I think one could live with it. High end workstations from HP/Dell (their own design, their own suppliers) went for $5,000+ a decade ago. They stopped doing that recently.

Nowadays only Apple seems to have enough pull to get uncommon features on their machines.
