Pretty much nobody would use that on a standalone keyboard either. They had to know the design isn't practical for the stated purpose.

However, it does make a nice little trophy/trinket. It's merit based, so getting one could become a goal for contributors. It's branded. It fits on a desk.

If they made it twice as big and called it a trophy, it'd probably make more sense. But then costs would be higher and it'd be more formal.
