There's also the matter of French preservation of language 
and culture.  It is a country where it can be illegal to use
 a foreign word in business. When computers first became
 widely available, phrases such as "le software"
and "le hardware" came into use, but the French 
authorities stomped out that sort of thing

Interesting to note that if these policies were carried out 
anywhere else in the world, we probably would have one word
to describe them:  racism.
