It was complete coincidence. I just decided to set up a shared workstation with
Kubuntu 18.10 for reasons and noticed the unusual translation. I honestly
haven't thought much about it (in large part because I haven't used the
workstation a whole lot myself) until I saw the complaints.

Not too surprising to me. Another sign of globalization. Some just feel
'English is cool'.

That's… Exactly how I feel, actually. You couldn't have put it better. Combined
with your other arguments, I feel satisfied enough to not contend this matter
any further.
