iPad keyboard numbers row at top

I'm brand new to IPAD; first ever non-PC device. Why don't any of the offered keyboards for the IPAD (mini) include a regular numbers row at the top? I've learned to deal with it, but hate switching keyboards, and even the "flick" movement to get a gray-colored number to appear is kind of a pain. Is there some kind of "policy" that prevents a regular, numeric row at the type like PCs or non-Mac products?

Try turning on Key Flicks in keyboard settings to make typing numbers easier.


otherwise check for alternative keyboards on the App Store.
