No, not everybody in Europe speaks English. Not in France, not in Germany, not in Spain, not in Italy.

And even if we did, we wouldn't just let an essential part of our culture die like that.

Anecdotal of course but for what's it's worth on the basis of around twenty cross-Europe trips by car I would say very few speak English. We live in bubbles and tend to believe they're shared by all.
