Standardizing keyboards layouts is absurd, as there is no standard for
the human beings who use them.

I wish that instead of trying to standardize keyboard layouts, they
would standardize the connectors between keyboards and display, and
between tracking devices (e.g. a mouse) and the display, so that any
keyboard (or tracking device) would work with any display.

That would allow us all to find and use the input devices that work
best for each of us.  We could take our own personal input devices
from job to job.

It also be a big boon to the disabled.
