This will actually give people a way to vote with their wallet. Thank you!

I can't buy System76 laptops, because they only have US keyboards. UK and Scandinavian (the one I'm using) have more buttons, so I can't just fix it with stickers.

Sad, because I reeeeally want a System76 laptop.

How so? You're still buying a system with an Intel CPU. Intel still gets their "dues". The number of people that care about this is a fraction of 1 percent of their user base.

Just so you don't misunderstand me, I am one of those people, and what Purism and System76 are doing is great.

I just don't think it's going to affect Intel in any way whatsoever.

It probably won't but if it shows an uptick for System76's business then you might see the other companies who actively ship systems that devs pay attention to doing the same. If the action ever gets Dell or Lenovo to follow, it's still progress.
