Even to add some functions to Emacs that respect numeric locales, it is
necessary to use e.g. dynamic modules (warning: do not try to change
global locale by setlocale(3), almost certainly something in Emacs will
be broken, a library that allows local locale objects is strongly
preferred).

It is a confusing statement, see:

The state of numeric locales in Emacs is a little worse than just
unsupported. Mostly "C" is forced for LC_NUMERIC, so e.g. grouping is
not used. However if your locale uses comma "," as decimal separator,
you may be confused by calc results:
M-x calc RET dg RET 123456
123,456
