It could be, if your version of the apocalypse occurs in the 21st century.

Same if you are the single lynchpin for all the technological advancement. Utsuho is the only one with the ability to handle nuclear fusion in Gensokyo. That makes her utterly indispensable once Gensokyo becomes reliant on nuclear energy for all its technological and medical breakthroughs.

Zun has a bizarrely inconsistent relationship with the western world. On one hand, he said in some interview or another that "Shanghai Alice" was chosen as a name because he intended to mix up western and eastern elements in his games (I'm paraphrasing, but the gist was that) and at least EoSD was almost aggressively a blend of both, but on the other hand, he sure doesn't do anything to meet his western audience halfway.

You misunderstand his intentions. He wants to put Western elements in his games, but he's not particularly interested in them being easily accessibly to non-Japanese. Completely separate things. And no, it's not because he's racist or anything, it more likely doesn't occur to him or he's too lazy.

Not really, doujins today use print-on-demand services (or "vanity press" as they used to be called). You can have the copies printed as the orders come, if you ever get any. The only extra risk comes from recruiting the translators.

Obviously a Polish doujin doesn't make sense unless the author is Polish himself, but at the very least there should be an English version of everything. Half of Earth's population can read English. Leaving that audience out is just asking for obscurity.

Most languages have spread past their country of origin, to be used somewhere else with regularity. This hasn't really happened with a majority, and eventually we'll probably be left with English, a single dialect of Chinese, and possibly French or Greek.

OR MAYBE IT'S BECAUSE IT'S HER FUCKING NAME DISPLAYED IN THE GAME. 99% of the fanbase has no idea who the other Rin is and if they do they don't give a shit because she never existed.
