Yes, I get that but most people are honestly atheist, including I believe a huge majority of Catholics and they go to mass for the community, connections and as a weekly family ritual.

From that perspective, what you’re saying maybe makes sense and that people aren’t really there to internalize the message, but are there for a spectacle. When my parents were growing up until about the 1960s or 70s, I believe all masses all over the world in Catholic churches were all done in Latin.
