As explained, electric-layout-mode is directly inspired from cc-mode's
corresponding feature.  In C modes and friends, you rarely (if ever)
write "{ }", so there was no need for such a thing.

I think it makes sense.  I'd welcome an extension of
electric-layout-mode which provides such a functionality.
