Why does a standard European keyboard have two Microsoft keys and zero Euro keys?

Is this the setup to some joke? There is no standard European keyboard. Netherlands uses a combination of ISO and ANSI qwerty, France Azerty, Belgium a special Belgian flavour of Azerty, Germany Qwertz, etc etc.

Also, a lot of european-country-language layouts do have a Euro currency symbol, either as modifier+number or as alt+e

Yes, there's a euro symbol printed on my E key.

Probably for the same reason a standard US keyboard doesn't have dollar signs on it. My "standard" European keyboard doesn't have Microsoft logos on it.

Say what? Shift-4 gives me $, on a perfectly standard US keyboard.

You have one dollar sign. Not more.
