The default layout for Macs sold in Poland is also nonsensical — it's "technically" more correct, and maps closer to what the typewriters looked like (I think?); but it is a layout that literally nobody else uses. I don't think I could easily find a non-Apple keyboard with that layout in Poland if I tried.

Old Italian Macs used a classical QZERTY keyboard, like typewriters, but no other computer keyboard uses that layout.

Normal computer keyboards use QWERTY (plus some accented letters). Luckily, Apple switched to that layout for Italian keyboards many years ago.
