How come the enter key is so small on most qwerty keyboards I've used and so big on the qwertz ones?

ANSI vs ISO, there's qwerty ISO as well. There was a bigger enter key on older ANSI keyboards as well, they just shrank it at some point. Or so I thought. The backwards L key I had in mind is apparently a mix of the two. I just associate it with older keyboards.

Personally I use a Pinky4 keyboard where every key is 1U these days, even space and enter.
