Hi, selecting the wanted keyboard layout is tricky.
A single user machine vs a multi-user system where each user might use a different language and/or keyboard. There are different levels on how to set up the wanted keyboard layout, let alone that some apps are more or less smart. An example, even on a single user machine using X, where setting up the keyboard layout could be done for quasi everything by the xorg.conf, some apps, such as e.g. some calculators tend to fail. Imagine a German keyboard by preferring English for the menus of the user session. Some calculators are smart, they "translate" the German "," of the numeric keypad, to the English ".", other don't. To cut a long story short, different desktop environments provide different keyboard layout related GUI dialogs. Some of them follow your logic, other don't. In then end all of them just steer kind of a middle course. There is no smart way to please everybody. Indeed, "Region & Language" does not suggest "keyboard settings", OTOH in practise a keyboard layout is related to region and language settings.
