Remove Taiwan flag – Taiwan is not a country

I agree. As a Swiss speaking German I find to see the flag of Germany a bit jarring, especially Germans tend act as if the language belongs to Germany.

So just use the language code for languages?

It's just a service for the Swiss to warn them about the occasional use of "ß".

Huch?

The Swiss don't care. Really. My son sees the sharp s everyday in school and nobody has explained to him what it is and nobody is asking him to replicate that letter.

No need to warn the Swiss.

I mean the language is called German. Seems appropriate to use the German flag.

This is the practice that I followed when I needed to add a regional-language pack for one of our SCCM packages. I put a "DEU" in the icon, not a German flag.
