One that I immediately can think of is increased support costs due to end users unintentionally changing their keyboard. The shortcuts to change keyboards are usually not too hard to accidentally hit, and most users (especially in the US) would be unfamiliar with what they did or how to change it back.

Not a windows user, but couldn't a sysadmin enable this keyboard but disable the shortcut to switch keyboards?

IIRC, even an unprivileged user can disable the keyboard shortcuts, but you still have to remember to do it.
