This feels like it's probably a stupid oversight chain like, keyboard layouts are user-specific data, so they're not decrypted before first unlock/set globally because the machine might have multiple users with different keyboard layouts.

Even if it is, why is there no way to change the system-wide settings? All other operating systems that I know either have an explicit button "Apply settings to login screen" or do it automatically (I'm sure 99% of the consumer-level computers sold worldwide never have more than one user on them, moreso with different keyboard layouts).
