Number notations was also used back then as well though. It was a per cultural FG game kind of thing.
Japan used number notations since the mid-late 90s and then became popularized in early-mid 2000s. Letter notation also became a thing to avoid numbers in the first place as an alternative, while shortening large texts from "quarter-circle-forward" to qcf. Also numbers are just better.
