I think it more to do with the old keyboards being built to last.   The
one I am typing on now has a date code of 94-4-4 (Honeywell) and is used
for up to six hours a day including gaming and all lettering is intact,
and all keys work well.

The second computer in this room has a 12 month old generic brand, and
half the lettering is missing.
