You find it "silly" that other languages with their own rules don't adopt phrases which may be impossible to use within those languages? For example in the Czech language there's nothing "relatively simple and easy to do" about using "Turkey" or "Türkiye" in Czech sentences since it's impossible to inflect these words using Czech case suffixes, so the official name of the country in Czech is "Turecko" simply so that you could actually use it in sentences without getting a brain aneurysm.
