I don't want to force anyone to do anything. I just express my opinion. And certain things are just facts like learning English will give you superior economical power.

I don't think there is any reason to protect language from criticism. Polish declination an conjugation as well as use of a lot "sz", "cz", "dz" etc. makes it hard to learn language. It's a fair criticism. If you want to do machine learning in Polish you will have a lot of issues. No one should get offended by that.

Also, there is also a lot of forms that makes Polish difficult to use for native speakers like "wyszedłem" (I, as a man, went out) the correct spelling vs. "wyszłem" an incorrect spelling that seems to be easier to use for many people.

Therefore, a lot of language protection is focused on excluding people. You don't know how to use language correctly so you are inferior. It's very common sentiment among Polish people. We even have a special body to say what should be considered correct - Polish Language Council. French have Académie française.

Even in English, especially in academia, people like to have this snobbish attitude that you should not mix British and American forms in a single text. This is certainly not intended to protect anyone, but to exclude people less proficient in English.

I think the most stark example of excluding people based on language I saw myself was in Belgium in Dutch speaking Flanders. If I'm not mistaken they have a law that explicitly forbids teaching bachelor degrees in anything but Dutch. This excludes a lot of French speaking Walloons from participating in Flemish universities. Some of them end up in Netherlands where attitude to language is less protectionists and a lot of bachelor programs are in English.

On the other hand, in Wallonia you may come across people who will pretend to not speak English. They will understand you, but they will be hostile. It's their part of country, their rules, but I'm not afraid to call it rude.

Again, people deserve protection. For example, you should be able to conduct your business with your government in the language that you speak. But there is no need to be protective of languages themselves and often this protectionism is a weapon on its own.
