The difference is that English is THE dominant global language, pushed by two global empires (first the British empire and now the American empire). It does not need protection, as it essentially like an invasive species at this point. It’s reasonable for counties to want to protect their native language(s). We’re already rapidly trending towards a global, American-flavored monoculture. Why make it worse?
