The numpad still being on the right on conventional keyboards is a vestigial holdover of the era before mice became standard. Having all that shit jutting out into the same space the mouse is supposed to use is a bafflingly shortsighted lack of design synergy. Ironically, the conventional fullsize layout makes more sense these days for left-handed mouse users. Southpaw boards with modern features are few and fuckoff expensive (plus there's like NOTHING in full-size), so until that gets fixed, TKLs are the next best thing unless you're into spreadsheets and/or 3D modeling.
Anytbing more cut down than TKL is pure mindrot, though.
