You'd rather have your browser use the bandwidth to download all 500 language versions and 200 otherwise localized versions of the website and use some random language as default, maybe chinese or spanish for being the biggest languages.
And which language would it start in, in order to offer you this list?
Imagine if every site did this, it would be so cumbersome. Worse than the cookie banners.
And either way, when you select the language, you've given them the fingerprinting data anyway. ๐ Completely pointless.
I already have to scroll past 20 options to get to Australia in country drop down lists lol
