Many people, for example expats, may be using computers where the
browser default language is not the language they would prefer. For
example, I know there is at least one person at my university here in
Arizona who edits the Chinese Wikipedia regularly. If he were to do it
from any of the public computers at school (the libraries or computing
commons, for instance), that does not mean he would want to read the
interface in English. That would be an extra hassle.
For the most part, the vast majority of people going to a Wikipedia
are going to want to see the interface in that language. Get over it.
