I have been asked the first set very rarely; only at LHR if I recall, and only for a UA flight bound for the US. The second set I was asked at MUC and FRA for UA flights bound for the US.

I fly from many western European countries on a very regular basis, and am asked the first set of questions maybe once or twice a year, if that. And since I recall being asked those in English, it would be at UK airports and most likely LHR.
These questions are still in effect in CDG as of this week.

The distinction to me is that these questions are asked by AIRLINE employees on check-in, not government entities at random.
