But for those who wanted it, you could buy a separate numeric keypad.
I thought that was a WONDERFUL way to do it.  Those of us who don't do
lots of number entry don't have give up desk space (and mouse space),
and left-handers could have the keypad on the left side, if they wished.

More isn't necessarily better.
