Sometimes I can tell where my ESL coworkers learned English based on phrasing and idioms. It would be interesting to come across someone who honed English skills with such a domain-specific application.
Look up "do the needful". It's not a myth, just regional.
I feel like I'm missing most of the story. I only get the hero image and one paragraph of content.

Many do it to get practice speaking English, which makes it mostly a win-win as players get to have controllers who take the game seriously and the controllers get to hone their language skills. It's only a problem if someone's accent is very heavy or they haven't achieved enough English skills yet to be able to communicate the basics of ATC but neither happens very often.

There was a pretty interesting cluster of threads here on HN a while ago about English in business environments with lots of anecdotes about learning English in various "non-English" societies.

Since I spent a lot of time in english-speaking professional environments for the last few years I managed to deviate a little bit from "Friends style" speak but I still end up saying "like" often if I start rambling.
A lot of people I know also have a bit of a vice with the word "like" and picked it up from Friends as well, it's an interesting thing to notice.
Unfortunately bristling with power-hungry fantasies in my experience.
I've only known one mod of a discord that i actually liked, and I don't think he knew that he had mod privileges quite frankly.

I've heard this phrase used by non-native English speakers, but are you suggesting it comes from practicing within a particular domain? If so, which?
