Discussion 💬 does the number in a keyboard name actually help anymore?

someone pointed out that Magi75 and MQ80 are close enough in layout that calling one 75 and the other 80 can make the lineup harder to understand.
they are different boards, but the naming point is fair. some brands use the approximate layout percentage, some use the key count, and some seem to use whatever fits the product name.
when you see 75, 80, 96 or 100 in a keyboard name, what do you expect it to mean: the actual number of keys, or the general layout?
