Well, that's not actually the case. It's sufficient for the primary keyboard
layout of the system to be used during initramfs, which can be changed and
then the initramfs rebuilt.
But plymouth ui needs to be changed anyway to get a working OSK, or
tablets and mobiles are not be able to use encryption.
What you're asking for would be incredibly difficult. It could be done, but
not with Plymouth, and not without increasing the size of initramfs by several
10s of not 100s of MB. Right now, Plymouth doesn't handle input. Well, it
does, but not most things. It's actually the underlying vtty that handles
input of the passphrase.
