“My instance” as “the instance I’m subscribed to”: I might interact with it if it’s in a language that I speak, otherwise I leave it alone.
“My instance” as “a hypothetical instance, that I would be the admin of”: if I had my instance odds are that I’d be tweaking its rules to promote linguistic diversity on first place, so the appearance of speaking communities outside the default language (that would likely not be English in my instance, but either Portuguese or Italian) would show that I’m doing a good job.
Some people raise the concern of administration; but frankly? It looks for me like a strawman, not an actual problem. Trolls are attention seekers, so they’d likely post in the majority language; and other types of rule breaking scale with the size of the linguistic community in question, so when they become an actual concern you’ll be able to recruit help anyway.
Trolls are attention seekers, but troublemakers tend to be focused on a particular action.
For example if somebody is stirring tensions in Sweden. They’re going to post in Swedish even if it’s not the most popular language on the instance because they don’t care about anybody else. There’s no benefit to me to risk it, so it’s not exactly a strawman arguement, there’s a very legitimate reason not to allow it.
Also they can go make their own instance if it’s really that much of a problem, but I suspect they won’t need to, I suspect they’ll be able to find a instance that supports their language. So again where’s the benefit in me allowing it?

For other types of troublemakers, check the rest of the very sentence that you’re referring to.
Although… frankly, given your lack of basic reading comprehension, coupled with other people are raising the same points that you are, I’m not bothering with your comments further.
