What are you aiming for with this question? What does "exist" mean? Exist in 
which context?

First fact is that anonymous users don't have user preferences. Our code falls 
back to use a cookie in this case.

Next fact is that only users with a Babel box can control which languages are 
shown in the terms list view. All other users (this includes all anonymous 
users as well as all logged in users that don't have a Babel box) get some 
additional languages picked by ULS. This (but only this) is a client-only 
feature.

When the Babel extension is installed users can control the set of languages. 
When Babel is missing they can't. This does not have anything to do with the 
question if the box is and can be expanded and collapsed.

As far as I can see the code introduced in 
https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/183498/20/repo/Wikibase.hooks.php is a 
mistake.
