I don't know of vCard 4 implementations "doing this", but any use case
requiring BDAY or DEATHDATE (DDAY in vcardrev-13 when the parameter was added)
as a text-valued property with language-param is applicable to ANNIVERSARY.

I think that the intended consensus was that text-valued properties with date
semantics should allow language-param, and this case was only an unintentional
omission.
