Not because uncommon languages are any different to other uncommon packages but because many "uncommon language" areas are those where there is a lack of network connectivity and CD is king... There are also political issues to be careful with and legal ones. Any language policy would need to have a clear justification and be transparent to avoid questions of racism in some countries. It would also want to consider legal requirements and the business/political climate. So in the case of Welsh there are good arguments for extras - fairly good connectivity, relatively small language base. On the other hand you need dual language support to get into schools/government/some other bodies as well as to earn happy points with the powers that be. French would be another example where there are definitive sensitivities and even bigger questions that need care. Consider shipping English but not French in Canada, or the size of the boom if someone put French as extras only.
