The Piano Keyboard is limiting the performer, not suitable for human hands, favours a "special case 7 tones" scale (white keys) and a "special case pentatonic" (black keys).

The Staff is derived from bad practices, mainly influenced by church vocal chants and organon/organum (hydraulis in older times) instrument compositions. They favour the "special case 7 tones" as well.

I never played piano. I learned the Staff though (to some extend) only to realise that it was even worse than the piano keyboard it favours.
