Wales comes along with England due to how their legal framework is setup. It is a good technical point you raise, but for all intents and purposes within the context they are the same place.
And yet it is the one part of the UK that actually has a language that is spoken by a non-trivial percentage of the population (unlike NI or Scotland where a tiny percentage can speak their Celtic tongue)

98% of the UK population can speak English, so I'm not sure where you got that idea. Clearly every part (maybe some small, uncelebrated village breaks the rule) of the UK has a language spoken by virtually the entire population of that region.

If you are struggling to say that England is the only country in the UK that sees most of its population still speak the language of its roots, then I suppose that's true, but when English is the most commonly used natural language across the entire world I'm not sure that is much of a feat.
What does any of this have to do with the discussion at hand?
