Game manufacturers create games for the largest market, which historically is the U.S. Market, so defaults to the U.S. keyboard layout.
I have seen some games revert to this default kb layout whenever there has been a problem with the config file, which gives your own KB options. The file for one reason or another becomes corrupt, or there is a read error on the HDD, and the default is loaded.
This is of course is completely independent of Windows itself, which has its own layouts that you can set up, even changing the default layout, and deleting the U.S. layout.
