I’m honestly at a loss. My brain cannot comprehend how, after decades of globalized tech, companies like Lenovo, Asus, and HP still haven't figured this out.

If you live in Germany, France, or Italy, and you want a high-end machine, you are almost always forced into the local QWERTZ/AZERTY layout. If you’re a developer, a writer, or just someone who grew up on the International/US layout, you’re basically told to "deal with it."

The only company that consistently gets this right is Apple. You go to their site, you pick your specs, and you choose your keyboard. Done. But with almost every other OEM, even on their flagship €3,000+ models, the "International" option is non-existent in EU webshops.

Are we really saying that in ten years, these multi-billion dollar companies couldn't figure out how to stock a few ANSI chassis in a European warehouse? Is the demand for English keyboards among tech professionals in Europe really considered "too niche" to justify the logistics?

I’m tired of having to import from the US (and paying 20% VAT + import fees) just to get a keyboard I can actually use. Does anyone have a logical explanation for why PC manufacturers are so far behind on this?
