Yes and no. There are a lot of people who are into keyboards and they buy a backlit one because they want to not because they need to.

This. My day to day keyboard is a DAS Keyboard (with blank key caps). And I just bought a backlit KBT Pure Pro. Not because I need to look down (I use colemack anyway) but because it looks shiny ;)
