But who’s looking at the keyboard while typing or playing games?

The streamer's audience

So people like to stream their hands these days?

Streamers stream anything streamable these days. That keyboard alone would boost anyone's stream no matter what they're doing just from people stopping scrolling out of curiosity. Unfortunately, novelty pays massive dividends these days.

Some of us may or may not have learned to type correctly and still look at the keyboard while still typing at an acceptable speed. I am totally not one of these people but this could be good for them. Also it can just be cool to look at, whether you look at it the whole time or you have an office where you have meetings and its just for others to look at

I have to look at the keyboard to be confident in typing, but never need to look at it playing games.

I know I’m in the minority here, but I can’t stand anything RGB. All my accessories are 1990s office beige baby! Bring back beige

I'm not on the beige train, but glossy black plastic with a small amount of blue backlighting is my preferred aesthetic. I hate rgb, it's gaudy and distracting to me, and any peripherals I get that have it I usually shut it off.

However, one circumstance I did have it on was when Battlefield 1 came out, and I discovered my G610 keyboard would automatically shut off all key lights except for the key bound for the gas mask (which would light up bright green) whenever you took poison gas damage. Very useful feature and I was pretty impressed that somebody came up with that.

With mechanical keyboards, you can choose your own click by changing switches.

I love white accessories with white LEDs. I'm speaking NZXT peripherals and Logitech Illuminated keyboards.

However the "gamer design" world seems to be stuck in something like a fever dream from late 80s with jagged edges that are all rainbow lights everywhere.

Unfortunately most my RGB stuff doesn't have a white so it stays turned off.

Yeah, same. I'm so tired of it that I genuinely considered just picking up soldering and replacing all that nonsense with white LEDs every time I find something I like that only offers "crazy rainbow".

55 million colors and none of them is white, my ass.
