Your second point is not something that could be addressed at our level: that's
how the Windows installer service works, and not configurable in individual MSI
packages.

That said: while your idea about user understanding system language might look
reasonable, but the practice shows that there are lots of cases when it's not
like that. We have quite a lot of questions "how to run installer in a language
other than that of OS", because people work somewhere with pre-installed OS, or
even regionally unable to obtain a differently localized Windows (yes, that
happens even today).

And *supposedly* Microsoft might had chosen to depend on that regional setting
just because of that fact, that you can set it to anything (and possibly
fine-tune manually to fake German date settings in English locale), but not
always free to choose OS language.
