There's a significant contingent of people who find typing numbers with the number row cumbersome (me included). If, for whatever reason, you need to type a lot of numbers, it can be quite inconvenient to not have a numpad.

It always looks stupid to me when I see those people typing their password and it has numbers in it.

Switching their hands between the alphabet and number keys, sometimes multiple times, with bonus points for not knowing the numlock status and having to do it all over again.

With the amount of time all of us spend on keyboards, it just seems lazy/inefficient to not learn to touchtype, including the numbers and at least the common symbols.
