Describe the bug

Since the 26.2.0 version, when I'm logged in as a regular user in a realm with localization activated, there is this "defaultLocale" item in the select a locale drop box (account console):

<img width="1406" alt="Image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/0236c6c1-4920-49c1-ada5-c7970fbb74b5" />

Were there any changes for the locale management?

For the record, I'm using a custom login theme and in the user registration screen, there is a new field that popped up, named "locale". I'm not sure it is related, but maybe it's worth mentioning.
