The laptop pictured has a US keyboard layout, that's just how the US keyboard layout is. They also have an ISO/most-of-world keyboard layout (with options for qwerty/qwertz/azerty labelling, at least on last gen), as seen on the laptop ad in the footer (assuming the link doesn't get changed from the french site after I post that comment, if it does, just go look up the order form on an EU site)

That is correct, we are making both ANSI and ISO Keyboard Modules for the Framework Laptop 16.

> ISO/most-of-world

I’m not certain, but I’m under the impression that the ANSI layout is more common than ISO: that, potentially simplifying a tad, ISO is used in Europe, JIS in Japan, and ANSI everywhere else. (I have experience in Australia, New Zealand, India and the United States, and they all use ANSI.)

ISO is also used in South America, so it's maybe a "European language that's not english" thing

All the countries you mentioned are English Speaking (Or have a really significant English speaking population), maybe that's why they all use ANSI
