Entering TOTP codes, bank accounts, spreadsheeting is much more convenient on a 3x3 grid than a row of numbers. It's also nice to have a +- button in the rightmost column.

That's the reason why I have a numpad layer on my 46 key split ortholinear keyboard.

Your use case doesn't mean you need a physically separate set of keys for this.

I guess we are at the opposite sides of the spectrum, I like to have a lot of buttons in front of me :) I just got this delivered:
