QWERTY is not on every keyboard. It is on the majority of keyboards in North America and in countries that buy computers made or designed there.
It is the standard layout for American English keyboards. Other languages use different layouts, even if they use the same alphabet. Also, there are alternate English layouts, such as the Dvorak.
Originally, the layout appeared on the Remington Number 2 typewriter in 1878. It was adapted from the Sholes patent that Remington bought.
Sholes developed the layout for the Sholes and Glidden typewriter. The layout was intended to prevent the jamming of the typewriter mechanism by placing letters commonly used together under alternate hands.
Remington typewriters were very popular and other manufacturers emulated the layout to make it easier for people to switch brands. This made QWERTY the standard layout on typewriters. Early computers were aiming to replicate typewriters so that people who had typing skills could apply them. Later computers just continued the tradition for the same reason.
