I think that's a false equivalency. The cost for people on AZERTY to just get a nice QWERTY layout, individually, is very small, and can be implemented on a personal level. Units of measure have to be, more often than not, coördinated among multiple people, which increases the costs of migrating between them, making it less favorable. I'd be a craftsman refusing to adjust my product in a way that benefits an extremely small subset of my users (people on a French keyboard) and worsens the experience of a major subset of my target audience (people on a keyboard with ` that have prior experience with this syntax). Let's put it this way: If a programming language required the letter ù in its syntax, which being present on a French keyboard but not on most others, represents the inverse of the current situation, my advice would be different.
