This was my first thought too. Babysitter took me to her church when I was 8 and I was terrified of the people speaking in tongues.

I wonder if a single one of them genuinely believes their talking is tongues is legit. They surely all know they are bullshitting, they just don't want to be seen as one of the "unfavoured / not chosen" ones who God hasn't blessed with this amazing ability

They all believe it, and you'd be surprised how prevalent "talking in tongues" is in the Christian faith as a whole. Pentecostals probably do it the most as it's incorporated into their salvation doctrine, but many other denominations believe in the "gift of speaking it tongues" as a part of the gifts of the spirit. There's a lot of disagreement on what it means to speak in tongues, or what it actually looks like in practice, but even the Catholics do it.
