100% agree this is solvable with words and conventional form fields. But also - it’s usually bad idea to disable a form submit button. It deprives the system an opportunity to tell the user what they need to do (i.e. if it’s disabled you can’t show an error message) and for the same reason it’s bad for accessibility.

This doesnt really apply to the language selection, which is somewhat ironic. You can tell the users what they need to do, but... which language do you use to tell them to?
The article is about a “one or more“ Ui component and I think you’re talking about a language switcher which is a different design problem.
