Agreed! But I suspect several of these decisions are not intentionally made and are "...meh, whatever".

Fair enough, and honestly I agree with you that supporting the n==1 case is the bare minimum of care I'd expect from an application developer.

Though if you support languages other than English even the decision to simplify pluralization logic to n==1 seems like a form of "...meh, whatever" given various pluralization rules: https://cldr.unicode.org/index/cldr-spec/plural-rules

The best approach is to probably separate the number out I guess.

That's certainly the approach our translation team prefers! Assembling a grammatically-correct statement from multiple discrete tokens is hard in languages with grammatical gender, complex pluralization rules, word ordering, etc. And there's not much benefit of doing it halfway right.
