Using the locale command input-remapper could pick the correct one.

A input-remapper-control command could help generating those files for contribution.

In most cases this would probably work for wayland installations.

Otherwise afaik each environment has its own way of handling keyboard layouts in wayland, so there needs to be e.g. an extra solution just for gnome and such.

But maintaining those files doesn't sound very attractive

Maybe microsoft has an api for obtaining their layouts: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/globalization/windows-keyboard-layouts

But I wonder if this causes issues with licenses
