> ISO/most-of-world

I’m not certain, but I’m under the impression that the ANSI layout is more common than ISO: that, potentially simplifying a tad, ISO is used in Europe, JIS in Japan, and ANSI everywhere else. (I have experience in Australia, New Zealand, India and the United States, and they all use ANSI.)

ISO is also used in South America, so it's maybe a "European language that's not english" thing

All the countries you mentioned are English Speaking (Or have a really significant English speaking population), maybe that's why they all use ANSI
