Are you truly certain it is just to simplify the UI? I am not sure for Swedish, but I do know that US films subtitled in Japanese often have different licensing arrangements than the unsubtitled version.

For the same inscrutable reasons that the film industry insists on schemes like DVD region locking, they are also generally against making a single version of a movie with all subtitles available.
