Maybe that’s not the case any more, I really don’t know. The “reverse polish” format was much easier once you got used to it. The last calculator I got was a fancy graphing model HP, given to me by my work, and since I didn’t really do much math by that time I gave it to my son who was in high school. I’m not sure he used it though, the RPN might have turned him off.
