"ASFAIK"? So you never actually tested it?

Yes. And this setting has, unfortunately, rather limited effect, since so
few servers try to make use of it. Besides, the setting is often wrong: it
reflects browser defaults rather than user preferences.
And the method you suggested does not fetch that setting but the browser's
interface language. Try it. Select any languages you like in the language
preferences and see what your code produces: not a string of language
preference list, or the first language in the list, or the language with the
highest quality factor. Instead, you get "en" if your browser interface is
English.
