It's more clear to do it in a language people don't understand? Do people prefer not to understand what is being said to them at Mass?

Some like the Latin and the mystery it evokes.

I'd be curious how many of the parishoners say the Rosary during Mass. That always struck me as bizarre.

None, from what I've seen. The Rosary is said before mass. There are also confessions before every mass (complete with lines that sometimes get pretty long), and exposition and adoration of the Blessed Sacrament after mass.
