How is a 104-key keyboard “special hardware”? And what makes it the “worst”?

It's a required extra even when another laptop keyboard exists

Its awful unergonomic design, both on the hardware size and on the input side (especially for symbols the op mentions)

So if you already must carry a special box, why not use a much better one that fixes both of these flaws?
