It was being disabled as a work around to try and get back the bug on
connecting to the game server.  Currently that bug appears to be blocked by
stuck loader screen see comment 1 for issue and workaround, the issue you
mention with GetThreadPreferredUILanguages and its mentioned even on thats
funcs absence another thread fails.  So for one or more reasons this bug seems
currently blocked until the launcher can be loaded and people can test
connecting again.  Should the bugs be split or are there more logs you want?
