Inconvenience isn't the real issue. Those who are complaining are simply bigots, in my opinion. They have little to no tolerance for people who are different.
For some reason, Americans seem to be less tolerant of people who speak a foreign language. Perhaps this is because almost all who initially came to America were happy to embrace a new tongue (if their mother tongue wasn't English).
I don't know of a Spanish-speaking person living in America that refuses to learn English and insists that all Americans learn to speak Spanish. That sounds absurd.
Why can't an American who thinks everyone should learn to speak English see the same absurdity?
This has all been discussed before.
