Fr. When the arrow keys were in use, you pretty much only used the keyboard. There are so many games from the 80's and early 90's that don't even have any mouse support at all. As soon as mouse look became normalized, the arrow keys went out the window for most people.

At the time, the mouse wasn't really that important because your line of sight was bound to a plane. You couldn't look up or down.
