The labels could wear off at that point, and it won't matter what language they're in. So on a car, while the incremental cost may not seem to be much, the long-term benefit is tiny.
It may be a bigger help on other things...like an air conditioner unit or some such...but then the added cost of label localization becomes a much bigger percentage of the cost of the item, and as such, sales and profits would take a much bigger hit.
I'm sure that for every person who has complained about crappy labeling, there is a group who has done the testing, surveyed their client base, calculated the ROI and determined that improvements are not worthwhile from a bottom-line perspective.
