Okay, Fediverse, I need answers...

Why does Valve put French translations under the English text on every single box? Is there some special reason for this, or do they just assume French people can't read English?

Three cardboard boxes are visible, featuring the English labels "at your fingertips", "Power Supply", and "Ergonomic Accessories Kit", each with a smaller French translation printed underneath. A hand holds the top box, with a keyboard and mouse pad visible in the background.
