Well they could count 6 knuckles on each hand, with one hand representing the dozens place.

It's more due to the fact that 12 can be divided evenly by 2,3,4,6, and 12. If a single person couldn't afford a dozen they could split it among other people.

Division is the key but affordability wasn't why. Everything agricultural was counted by the dozen, gross, and great gross.
