Yes, but one does not need to use numbers to use math. Math is often interpreted to mean big numbers instead of just logic. Numbers are merely one way of expressing it.

"A warrior is a hunter. He calculates everything. That's control. Once his calculations are over, he acts. He lets go. That's abandon. A warrior is not a leaf at the mercy of the wind. No one can push him; no one can make him do things against himself or against his better judgment. A warrior is tuned to survive, and he survives in the best of all possible fashions." ― Carlos Castaneda

The reason that mathematics has been so pursued and studied is because it has direct application to the real world. Even the more esoteric branches you listed like Combinatorics and Differential Equations have direct, real world application.

But perhaps the biggest factor driving mathematics historically are people's ego. Who wouldn't want to have a mathemetical thereom, something which will last forever in the minds and texts across the world, named after them?

By the way, many of the highest level branches of mathematics are used in physics, which, quite obviously, has real world application.

"Chemistry is divide this, add that. It's simple math. Even Physics isn't that complicated of math, at least not in the early stages."
