In what world would anybody need to deactivate their numpad?

On the original IBM PC keyboard (Model F), certain keys like the arrow keys, Insert, Delete, Page Up, Page Down, Home, and End weren’t discrete keys and were on the number pad. NumLock tells the computer “hey, I want to input numbers and not these special commands”. On the Model M keyboard, it was held over, because of familiarity and legacy support.
