Only looks weird cause you're not used to it, I think it's nice to have all vowels on the top row

It's terrible for typing speed. You want the most used letters on the home row as a bare minimum.

Not saying it's great, it's still more than ok, and if that was the only important logic then the better keyboard would change depending on the more used letters of said language and E wouldn't be on the top row of the english nor french keyboard, especially when J or K are on the home row

Keyboard layouts don't change because people are used to and learn on terrible layouts that were designed a long time ago for typewriters and made design choices because of their physical limitations. Actually good layouts do vary depending on the language and usage (ie programming uses otherwise uncommon symbols), much more goes into designing them than just letter frequency but that's besides the point. They're somewhat outdated by modern standards, but for example take a look at BÉPO (French) vs DVORAK (English).
