To be fair the reports suggest it was not CR specifically but a third party that provided them with this. Apparently it came from Cygames, publisher of the show. Maybe CR understands not to go the duolingo route, I don't think they're that stupid.
It also doesn't surprise me Cygames would take the cheap out route towards the international market. They're one of the best examples of Japanese boomer mentality at least when it comes to their games. Absolutely completely unsurprising Cygames would cheap out. Its a shame because there are tons of talented people behind their IP's, but Japanese shitty boomer mentality goes brr I guess.
That said fuck CR.
I've never played any of their games (I've sworn off gacha permanently...just eats up too much time), but the recent Uma Musume global release seems to be pretty well received—they even commissioned a proper English adaptation of Umapyoi Densetsu. And I would have figured they were more dynamic than the legacy publishers, being a younger company. But all I really the know about Cygames is that they make fat stacks of cash off of gacha
