I don't know exactly what set-language-environment does in total; but
it sets also the coding priority list. And using a Latin1 or Latin9
for LaTeX in a UTF-8 locale is a very common use case.
That's one reason why I would keep them all, to let the user choose
between all alternatives even after startup.
For LaTeX files in Latin1 or Latin9 when running in an UTF-8 locale by
default, I think it is useful to add a coding system cookie to these
files to make sure they are loaded correctly. If you want to grep for
words containing umlauts in such files correctly with “M-x grep” and
then again grep through UTF-8 encoded files, it is actually useful being
able to switch between the language environments “German (UTF-8)” and
“German”. Therefore, I think it is best to have them all available.
But the most useful ones if running in an UTF-8 locale are the UTF-8
language environments, therefore, at least these should be available.
