I can't help but wonder if the English subtitles are there because people were going to add English subs anyway, so why not just put the subs on and get ALL the viewers who want to watch it in Japanese.

I mean, really, there have been people who have actually legitimately said "I won't watch RWBY unless someone dubs it in Japanese and puts English subs on it." These are people whose first language is English, but they're such anime elitists that they shun English voice acting and avoid it like the plague.
