It's the last bit that always bothered me most. Why would they do that?
Most ST shows seem to have people speaking "Standard" with the occasional mention dropped in to prove they thought about it. Discovery clearly uses universal translators; in an early episode, they aren't working right on the ship, and Linus is incomprehensible to anyone! But Linus seems to understand everyone else. And it's just played for laughs (as most things with Linus are).
