It does use it. What is being discussed here is the dafault, which is
the one that will appear to users which, come to the wiki for first time
(eg. random internet browser), change wikis (they are mainly active on
one wiki, and crosschecks to other wikis, he will want the full
interwiki list), and whenever you clear their cookies (something that
should be done regularly).

Even if we show them expanded by default, there will be some people
hiding them and unable to find them back, but that would (hopefully) be
negligible.
