> The Mac keyboard layout is US-like

In Israel we have the option of choosing Macs with US layout or keyboard layout. What changes is mainly the enter key on two rows of the European models, the character "`", and the characters next to the shift keys.

Indeed, that's my point. What you've described (Mac US vs Mac UK) less significant than comparing a UK Mac and a UK IBM keyboard.

I'm not suggesting that a UK Mac keyboard is "the same" as a US Mac. Just that for someone used to a UK IBM keyboard, a UK Mac keyboard will feel different (and visa versa for Mac users switching to IBM keyboards).
