Apple doesn't charge you for a language pack in OS X, it ships with all the supported languages included. And also doesn't charge for OS X at all. I can't see how MS is better given that you pay for it.

That's a sensible comparison only if you forget that you must to pay Apple premium for the hardware on which OSX is capable of running - the price is folded in there.

Someone pays for the Windows licence too. It's folded somewhere in there too.

You suggest they give their hardware for free? Or that they are forced to have their OS run in competitors hardware?
