All this just simply means "user language preference". Every User object (even anonymous ones) have preferences (default preferences). And if and when we implement global settings, that is something taken care of at the preferences level, not at the level of "get user language". And by default the user language is the content language (anonymous users / new users that haven't changed it). The logic you describe is what I meant in my opening post.
