While I do completely agree with you (coming from a non-english-speaking country), from the "MONEY!" POV, localization makes sense even if it siloes communities, some countries's communities mostly (if not only) communicate in their mother tongue and tend to have little involvement outside that (russian and asian communities tend to do that a lot in my experience, though it may only be because they have the numbers and are thus easier to notice than e.g. italian or french)
