Used a VPN to my home while in Mexico. Returned a week ago and all my devices (including those that have never been in Mexico) now show they’re in Mexico. Google’s IP correction form says it can take a month to fix.

Why does the browser go through all the trouble of sending out your language when Google is going to ignore it anyways?
I believe Google specifically does this to discourage VPN use. It screws up their primary reason for existing: advertising revenue.
So this is just Google punishing you?
Do you believe a multinational company’s business polices are targeting you specifically each time you have a problem?
Not always, but sounds like in this case it seems plausible
I don’t understand why a lot of websites go long ways into getting country from IP and then language from country instead of using directly the language reported by browser.
because their developers are anglobrained and think all countries all monolingual blocks
