I don't know if I'm in the minority here, but my boards rarely do what the legends of the keycaps say. I have layers and layers of all sorts of different functions on my 40%s all the way up to my TKLs that do exactly what I want/need. No one ever 'lives without' a key.

I would even argue my smaller keyboards, like my Corne, that appear to be 'missing' a ton of physical keys can end up with more keys that are easier to reach than much larger boards. Example being, there's no number row on the Corne but by simply holding down one of the Fn keys I end up with a full numpad that I can mash out numbers in without looking and with one hand; something I'm unable to do with just the standard row of numbers above the alphas. It makes those keys kind of pointless, especially if you have to move your hand to reach a key.
