Not sure why you're making this personal. I do of course realize the privilege in speaking English as a first language, being born in a developed nation, as a white cis-man, and so on.
To cling to the idea that English need continue to be the most important global economic language though, is a type of linguistic and economic supremacy I don't care to partake in.

If you were playing a strategy game you would definitely value your country’s language remaining the língua franca.
The same logic applies in the real world. It’s not personal. It’s the most impersonal thing possible.
You have a huge unrecognized privilege in being a native English speaker.
