What should have happened instead?:
We should be able to set the local value to those preferences, just like it in the "Appearance" tab

I noticed that this issue happens in all tabs except "User profile" and "Appearance", which seems really weird.

I believe this is a duplicate of T296028, which has been fixed in the master branch 3 weeks ago (at least 1.38.0-wmf.10), but enwiki runs on 1.38.0-wmf.9.
There is a series of similar bugs, T296638 and T297370.
