Because this isnt German local news or something, this is a presentation on the inner workings of the railway map. Might very well be interesting to people regardless of language, you could probably turn off the audio and watch it with subtitles.
On principle you are correct though, the language setting isnt properly used most of the time.

Then why bother with language settings at all? If people are just going to set the languages according to what they think might be relevant to the audiences, then the whole idea becomes a silly variant of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rZ3ETK7-ZM8
I speak German just fine. It’s for other people. What’s the point of having a language setting if people are just going to stick “English” there?

What subtititles? I can’t see a button for this. There doesn’t seem to be anything in the menus either.
So this is an “English language” post that is completely inaccessible to people who only speak English.
