Well those guys played piano. The subject says keyboards.
For one thing, they have no interest in soul. A keyboard (synth) sounds like a giant bag of ass.
Secondly, in many acts, they are the support instrument. They not only have to know how to play everything, but they have to fit between bigger egos, filling out riffs, melodies, or supporting harmonics. They are the workhouse of the group, adding muscle, novelty, and flare to music.
