It's just that Num Lock on laptops often does't have a light to indicate
whether it is on or off, and laptops often do not have the numpad. In these
cases, it may be a handy for users if the status for Num Lock is indicated to
them; hence the ability to easily change the settings.

Agree. The only issue that would still remain is that you only see the Lock Key
applet when the Caps Lock is active. This behavior is understandable but that
makes the ability to turn on the Num Lock applet a bit difficult to find.
