How common is the US International keyboard in real life..?

Users would still need to manually add them in Windows, or in other
computing tools vendors would need to add support for "US International"
before they can be used

Which is exactly why they aren't using unlauts.

How about, for example, a random tourist looking for info of random
Kazakhstan city? Will they know how to type umlaut in a city's name? Most
likely they'll simply type it without any umlaut and lost the distinction
