Thanks for raising this again. Unfortunately, the Windows Store team doesn't agree that this needs to be fixed.

Not sure about the guideline behind Windows Store team when making the Won't Fix decision, but per https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/globalization/localization/overview - Avoiding sensitive geopolitical issues is one important consideration in making sure a product is well received in the international market.
