Very much agreed. Except for registries with very special
policies (such as the blocking used by some East Asian
registries), the language association doesn't make too
much sense.
Immagine that a gTLD registry had a few hundred language tables,
and immagine that a registrant wanted to register a particular
sequence of characters. It would be very easy for a registrar
to set up a service that figured out a language (don't care
which) that worked, and register the name with that language.
