I am always glad to badmouth Microsoft, really. But it seems unfair to blame on them the standard layout for keyboards, at least singularly.
Not really, it's their OS and their decision to make.
Whatever made you think it wasn't?
Keyboard layout is still the same if you install a Linux, or even a DOS. I mean the Mac OS has a unique keyboard layout, but that is because it works with its particular hardware.
Microsoft is partly to blame. Keyboard manufacturers have no reason to create keyboards with buttons that Microsoft (and Apple) don't support. No one creates Linux-specific keyboards so we just have to deal with Windows ones. My super key is mapped to my left Windows key and my compose key (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compose_key) is mapped to my right Windows key. If Windows supported the compose key (something dating back to the 80's), it wouldn't need to rely on alt codes.
Linux:
compose + n + ~ = ñ
compose + N + ~ = Ñ
Windows:
alt + 0241 = ñ
alt + 0209 = Ñ
...
Windows:
Alt Gr + ~ + n = ñ
Alt Gr + ~ + N = Ñ
...
Windows:
Alt Gr + ~ + n = ñ
Alt Gr + ~ + N = Ñ

It definitely works on czech programmer (quwerty) keyboard. You probably screwed up standard when you can't type down ~ + n =
Also why can't you type shift + number and get your special character?
Yea, but shouldn't he switch to keyboard layout that has support for ~ + key? That's far easier than buying keypad and programming it to type special characters.

Only some regional keyboards have a dead key on ~. The 7-bit English layout doesn't.
