Another annoying version of this is localized google results. I'm originally from country A, live in country B, but work in English, which is not the language of either place.
But google will then localize results to where I am, which typically deprioritizes English results because I'm not in an English speaking country.
You can set your google settings to act as if you're in the US permanently, but then googling anything local/regional will serve results aimed at people a continent away.
All this "guessing what the user wants" has become detrimental to actual UX.
