At eswiki, during the current discussion to deploy Vector 2022, user:Dodecaedro is reporting to experience the same issue: after opting-out from the compact list, the language list remains the same as when the compact list is activated (when using Vector 2022 as skin).

Please see https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T319690#8366913
This is working as expected.

As long as the expectation one gets from the GUI and the actual behavior don't match, it's a bug.

If you aren't going to make it take effect in Vector 2022 (the point of which eludes me given you still have to account for non-JS users), the option should at the very least be accompanied by a note saying it has no effect in Vector 2022 if the wiki has that skin installed.
