I don't understand why it's so unlikely, Lydia. ANY educational article (science, math, engineering) can have graphics whose underlying data is not language-sensitve. How about timelines on a bio article -- that's anothr example. Or a map within a place article? Or financial data within a business article? I think these are more likely than the scenario that concerns you, where the *data itself* used to construct the graphic, is language- or country-sensitive.
What I am meant is that the individual Wikipedias are quite different. One Wikipedia might consider it important to show certain data in this way and another one in that way while a third might insist on not showing it at all because it is not important. Having over 280 Wikipedias agree on which and how certain data should be shown seems like a major pain on top of all we're asking for from them already for Wikidata.
