Keyboards like Keychron are able to store BT connection info for multiple computers. So, you can easily switch between, say, your desktop, your server, and your laptop, as needed. Or bring it to work, or whatever. The point is that being able to use the same high quality keyboard with every device is nice if you do a lot of typing.
Maybe. Or maybe it is one of those things that you think you don’t need until you start using one, and then you can’t believe you waited so long. :)
Portable wirless mechanical keyboards are niche, but not uncommon. I bought a Keychron for my daughter and she loves it, though admittedly I’m not sure how often she uses the ability to move it between computers.
You can also connect it to your phone, so you can use it for portable long form writing or programming with just your phone or tablet and keyboard if you don’t have a laptop. I’m sure it is better than using the Surface keyboard, for example. Many laptop keyboards also suck, especially if they use an ISO standard keyboard when you already have muscle memory for the ANSI layout.

You just never have to reconfigure it if you reinstall, or move to another computer, or dual-boot etc.
Work PC and personal PC on the same desk, with a KVM switch to seamlessly switch between them.

This sounds like a really rare use scenario.

Lots of people use VMs, too.
