That's why I also mentioned US companies with primarily US clienteles. I think that in that case, "browser is sending en-US language" and even say "IP geo-resolves to the US" is a strong enough signal to justify prioritizing "United States" in a country dropdown. It helps a decent fraction of your customers, and for the ones where it's wrong, they go from picking their country in the full drop-down to... picking their country in the full drop-down. The downside is microscopic on this one.

It's not evil like forced language/region selection with no fix available.
