I'm merely pointing out that your analysis of why it happens, is lacking.

It reminds me of customers who submit a feature-request or issue in the form of a concrete solution, rather than a good description of the problem they encounter.

"I want a dropdown with flags to switch to another language" vs "I cannot switch languages".

The latter presumes nothing, leaves the implementation to product-manager, -owner, UX designers or developers. The former is not only bad (flags for languages are stupid) it has a big chance of being dismissed entirely. Big chance the dev sees it and thinks "hmm, out of date, we already have that dropdown", but that due to a bug, setup, caching, incompatibility, browser-plugin or whatnot, it doesn't show up for the client.
