I’ve been a moderately competent user of computers for 33 years. At no point, ever, in the setup of a new device, has a changed setting at the start of a hardwired laptop keyboard then resulted in the inability to then input correctly. You may be absolutely correct, but from a user experience perspective, what the actual fuck? It wasnt like I was plugging in the dvorak version or was connecting my french layout keyboard by PS/2. It is literally the keyboard it came with. On a Mac you can later change the option, but the bloody thing already knows what keyboard it has and won’t let you make a user hostile mistake at the beginning of your setup journey. Imagine the confusion for the average person

Why wouldn't it change the layout immediately? If the user changes the setting, I would imagine at least a sizeable portion of those users want to use their desired keyboard layout to enter their information and might be unable to do so using whatever layout is selected by default.
