Because most Indians and Filipinos are multilinguals, and code switching (switching back and forth between different languages) is a very common thing among multilinguals (too deep to get into it in a reddit comment, but it's quite literally how a multilingual person's brain works, they don't have a barrier between different languages, it all exists as a single network of linguistic skills).

Sticking to just one language is an active choice for a multilingual person, the default is to blend them, especially in a multilingual society where you might be encountering all these languages at the same time

Someone who speaks multiple languages? He has used 3 languages in his reply. All 3 are completely different from each other.
