The numpad is still a popular option in roguelikes. It's also worth noting that sometimes the ortholinear layout of numpad keys is more appropriate than the staggered layout of letter keys.
I use it for keybinds that I don't use very often, but still need on occasion. Frees up the other keys for more important stuff. Very useful for weapon hotkeys in games like Fallout when I have a ton of guns.

Are you Grubby? No actual human uses number pad for keybinds in games, only game Gods who learned before there were real alternatives.
