Yes, I see people are saying that even some new PCs still have PS/2.
Doesn't make any sense to me, unless there are some legacy peripherals
that need it, that I'm not aware of. In the case in point, it shipped
with USB keyboard and mouse.

IIRC, the last time I used a PS/2 device (keyboard) on a new computer
was when the USB wasn't working. I still have that machine, and USB
works fine now. I never found out what happened. Possibly some bit (I
have no idea which) accidentally got flipped in non-volatile memory.
