(Sure, I could get my eyes re-measured for free by an optician who hopes to sell me glasses, and then get a cheap pair online at Zenni Optical, but my government provides me a free pair every three years.)
Mind you, I'm not opposed to trying out silly efficiencies, such as tapping '66' on a microwave to save the smidgeon more effort required to press '100'.

As for monitors, they are cleaned whenever dirt is noted (which is not infrequently). Also, if you actually try to touch a monitor in front of me I will scream at you like a bride who's wedding has just been ruined. You'll be glad you left a fingerprint on the screen because the cops won't be able to identify your mangled corpse otherwise.
Mice and keyboards on the other hand become quite dirty. Both have quarterly interactions with the contents of my tea cup. The keyboard will have a significant amount of hair within it.
Optical mouse technology has enabled levels of filth not possible with mechanical mice. Between many buttons and questionable styling there's an ever increasing number of filth catching edges too.
Keyboards have always been a pain to clean. I'm not going to pull off the keys and wash them as regularly as I should. It's almost easier to use it as an excuse to buy a new keyset instead of removing, cleaning, and reinstalling the same ones.
