IMHO multilingual support would just pollute precious available estate in those models. Why not use it in english and use another one for translation?
That would work if all information is available in English as the primary language. That's not the case though. You may be missing out on interesting information if you're skipping other languages.
It depends on your use.
LLaMA’s main issue is that its license prevents commercial use.
If you want to use a LLM inside of a product, you may need to internationalize it at some point, so multilingual support matters.
