I like to be able to sit down at any computer and keyboard and be fully productive right away.

Exactly, so do away with the zoo of national keyboards, any language should be typable on the standard QWERTY keyboard.

QWERTY is just one national layout among many. It’s not the “standard” by any meaningful metric. Why not let people use whatever layout they like?
well, that's actually how East Asian input usually work, so...

Right. You do it. So why can't we?
Frankly, I think it is about time Latin languages should get predictive typing assist on desktop. It's probably within possibility for Mythos/Fable class LLMs to one-shot it out of a tweet-length description and full code access for existing IMEs like Mozc.
I really don't think it effects your ability to do that. I've used a split keyboard as my primary keyboard for many years, it has not at all effected my ability to use a standard keyboard. As soon as my hands are on a typical layout the muscle memory kicks in.
