I’ve been complaining about this for years. And since the large influx of vpn use (esp US I think), I expected this to become a more pressing and widespread issue along people, leading to more urgency to fix it. But no, even google sites seem to not give a shit IIRC

As a user it’s annoying because I have to hunt down the language/region settings. And as a developer it would cost me a lot more to hunt down those values based on the client IP address.
