I enjoy visiting public parks. We have some really great ones on our overnights. I also go running, hiking, and exploring.

Whole crew can play "Beat the Breathalyzer". Stop drinking at T-12h (or whatever your airlines limit is) , who gets closest to 0.02 at showtime wins.

Must be new, last time I used airline apps it wasn't there and I would remember because it applies to me.

It is not, at least not any more so than other extra-curriculars. That's been a fact because I've been around a couple decades and never heard of it before (and I would have noticed because that's a box I could check).

Now it's possible it's a new thing... I can see that as being possibly a diversity filter for HR. They probably can't select for specific languages, but in the US about half the people who check that box will be spanish speakers, and about 80% of those will count for diversity.

It would make sense to weigh a language more heavily than a degree in political science or psychology, but I'm pretty sure they don't.
