Unfortunately, the "universal localed keyboard handling API" is not as 
universal as your wording appears to imply. At least, not yet. Historically, 
the API was primarily intended to set the systemwide default locale and the 
systemwide default keyboard layout, requiring a reboot to apply. So getting 
the changes picked up in real time is something the desktop has to support 
explicitly. (And that support may also have to be enabled explicitly, e.g., 
KWin requires the --locale1 option.)

I also wonder how this is expected to work in a multi-user setup (where some 
users may want to use different locale, keyboard layout, etc. settings than 
the system default), though in the context of installation, that is probably 
a non-issue.

This of course also affects installers other than Anaconda, e.g., see also 
the discussion under: https://github.com/calamares/calamares/pull/2180
