Then the problem is that this person won't get the brazilian locale selected. Asking him to choose a country, and not a language variant makes him choose a bad option for his locale configuration.

Same as above if the considered french is not actually french, but french-speaking canadian.
The main point is that making people choose a "country" is definitely not a natural way to ask them to choose a language variant.
