Calculators have been using ON +/- since the beginning of time to increase/decrease contrast on non-backlit LCD displays, so I find it completely intuitive and logical for this keystroke sequence to be used for the increase/decrease of brightness on backlit displays. Remember, this is a calculator, not a computer.

For a seasoned, veteran, calculator user, such as you self-describe many functions are probably second-nature. For the first time user, and possibly complete stranger to this particular technology, the legends on the interface are the most important guide. Also, for someone who very infrequently uses a product, this is could be very important.

Users will just have to adapt, the keyboard legends may wear out, but they aren't otherwise going to change by themselves!
