I think it was so users wouldn't follow "Windows 9x" tutorials thinking they would still work.

French had a big impact on Viet culture and I believe were in some part related to the romanization of the language. To me Viet seems like Cantonese written in latin script, with borrowed French words. I don't know it very well obviously.

Yes, garbage bins are everywhere.
Plastic is an import. Plastic takes forever to break down. Plastics have side effects (think BPA, etc).
Biodegradable versions of these products exist. Why not use them?

No, Paris happens to have cleanup crews, in addition to public garbage bins... which are contraptions which contain a clear plastic bag. They are not actually a bin/can format, and they are indeed everywhere.
The fact that people in Paris litter is unreltaed to the garbage "cans" being present. It is probably somewhat related to the fact there are cleanup crews to deal with it though. Hate to think how gross Paris would be if there were no cleanup crews (would probably smell more like NYC on garbage day).
