Just because I'm curious, why would you not use your native language for the content on your page?

Because English is the most spoken language in the world perhaps? Its even more noticeable in tech, because a lot of docs only seem to be in English.

I'm pretty sure the most spoken language is Chinese.

Seems an easy question. English is basically a/the global language. If you want a massive portion of the community to find the content inaccessible, making it available only in French is a good way to do so.
