Yes, this is intentional. The choice is up to you, if you want to display it or not. The MUI, for example, does use IfSilent.

What is the theory behind the use of in silent mode the option to display a Language Dialog?

IMHO, silent should not display any thing.

That's up to you. Some users might want to just hide the wizard dialogs. The MUI, which wraps a large part of the internals of NSIS, does use IfSilent to suppress the language dialog on silent installations, along other things.
