Erm - perhaps because neither Gaelic nor Polish is an official language of the UK and Welsh is?
(P.S. I'm half-Welsh. Sadly I don't speak more than a few words, but if I was fluent I'd think it reasonable to have the option - not least because if I were a solicitor practising in Wales I might get more clients if I were known to be able to speak both. Increasingly when I go to Swansea (never much of a Welsh-speaking area when I was young) I hear plenty of young people actually talking in Welsh. And if we were Swiss we would have to be able to speak at least two of the three main official languages so that we would have at least one language in common with our fellow countryfolk. There's an awful lot of countries where being monoglot basically condemns you to a life of poor pay because you can't communicate outside your own linguistic community).
