The number input is the worst input
The number input should have been called “scalar stepper”. It’s genuinely useful when you have a scalar parameter and want the user to be able to increment and decrement the value with a given step.

Meanwhile in ecom sites where there's a use case for this (how many do you want to add to your cart?) it's always just a dropdown anyway.

That thing is called a "spinner" almost everywhere. And yep, "stepper" would be good too.

I usually see it referred to a "stepper" or a "spinbox". Yes, a spinbox!
