Why is English not available on many online platforms?



Hey everybody! This is obviously not a big deal or anything, but am just curious; why is English not available on major websites and platforms?

For example, PlayStation Store- it is only in German/French/Italian, despite the fact that it’s a big company and adding English shouldn’t be an issue?
Same applies for business/services like HelloFresh, that are available internationally, but their website, apps and deliveries all come in German/French/Italian (hence why I stopped using this service for example)

Now, I know that these 3 languages are the official and most spoken languages in Switzerland, but there are so many native English speakers living in Switzerland, I do wonder if English will ever be incorporated into these language options.

Side note: this is just an open discussion- of course I am busy learning German to integrate with society here, but sometimes I do wish English was slightly more available for things like this..

Do you think businesses could be losing on possible income because English is not available?
