Sure, me neither. And indeed I wouldn't consider it proper to ask an Irish person to change their accent, and would never do so. But that's partly because I recognize that even if I forced them to do that, it wouldn't actually change anything real. It wouldn't make them more English (whatever that might mean), and they'd go back to using their real accent the moment they were out from under my thumb. The change would be arbitrary and surface level only. Whereas, to the sort of people who implement features like this, forcing people to change their accent would be an enormously significant and impactful move.
