I could probably write an article just about why the number input is terrible.
And, with as many people are saying outright "don't use numeric inputs" I would very much want to understand what issues you encountered, when, and, on what platform. Otherwise it sorta feels like FUD in 2022 to push against numeric inputs without specifying the actual issues.
In other words, please do write an article. Although I'm skeptical, I would read it with an open mind + in good faith.

I also shared it on hacker news. I hope this helps.
