I think the "Press F1 to Resume" was for the unlikely scenario where the BIOS did not detect a keyboard, despite one being connected before boot. So if you knew for a fact that your keyboard was connected and working, you could press F1 to continue with the boot process.

That does make sense. But like you say it wouldn't have been common, especially compared to the keyboard being unplugged or not-enough-plugged-to-work

Before USB, I never saw it happen that I was able to press F1 (or other keys asked by other BIOSs).
