No, it's also used for content.  For example,
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Meta:Language_select will filter the category
descriptions on a page like https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Earth .

You can override it to show all languages, or an arbitrary one.  But it
defaults to your preference language.

Same for https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q2 (Earth at Wikidata).  All the labels
are localized, using your preferences by default.

> What would allowing more than one language to be selected accomplish?

I gave clear examples in the report, such as filtering your watchlist and
recent changes.  Look at https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Special:RecentChanges
for example.  It would be nice to only see the label changes for languages in
my preferences.
