Since when does the TLD imply the native language of the website creator?

Also the .eu TLD, which is a country-TLD for the European Union, consider that the UK (still in the EU), along with Ireland and Malta have English as an official language [1].

I think it's quite reasonable; the tld suggests the location/nationality, which suggests the language. It's not ironclad, but it's implied.

Those three english-speaking countries (UK, Ireland and Malta) make up roughly 13.7% of the total population of the EU; when the UK leaves, it will drop down to around 1.1%.
