Just give players the option. Configuration is one of the benefits of PC gaming, and it's typically not an expensive feature to implement. (unless you did some weird hardcoding)
Maybe I've got muscle memory from similar games where it is alt-1. Maybe I find alt-1 more comfortable to press than ctrl-1. Maybe I really love my keyboard overall but my left control key is a bit temperamental/sticky and hitting right control + 1 is super awkward. Maybe I'm just OCD or contrarian. Or probably a bunch more reasons.
The same question though, also applies: Why did the dev pick ctrl-1 instead of alt-1? Maybe the dev is the autistic weirdo?

Typically done in console ports.
Why does it not make sense at all if I want to change, say, ctrl-1 to alt-1 or shift-1?
