That may be generally true, in this case Apple actually has an engineering team in Czechia that works on biometrics and authentication:

So could they finally fix their quotations marks in Czech? Probably no, they never cared, so why should they start caring now.

No but they might be able to fix authentication problems, which is what this is.

Guess what, they’ll do nothing. If Czech market is small enough for them to fix quotation marks, they’re not fixing Czech keyboard.

OTOH, if an American will whine enough on Internet, they may fix it for him. Maybe some other American should use standard Czech quotes as password to get it fixed also.
