I'd think that it's only superficially true. For example if i make a film in
English and then write Russian language subtitles for it; after that i can
record "director's commentary" track in Russian, the default playback that a
user would expect in Britain would be "English audio only" and in Russia it
would be "English audio + Russian subtitles".

I think that in many cases defaulting to the user's profile language can lead to
the confusion.

Multiple language tracks will only add insult to injury, since they would never
be chosen as default, even though most likely it is they who are "main track" of
the feature.
