Perhaps for some of these websites, this annoying design is helping improve monetization? Perhaps the users being inconvenience by this design is only a small minority and what they perceive of as a flaw could be the result of A/B testing with increasing profit as a goal? Alternatively, some website consultant/'expert' is charging by the hour and adding this 'features' is a way for them to charge more? Or, some technically clueless manager is asking the consultant why the website is not showing up in the local language when it is his browser that is misconfigured?
