Why not? WM's from most other European countries do and they are in the same situation. Credit cards are also now far more widespread throughout Europe than those living outside of it often seem to think.
The obvious answer is simply the non-French market is MUCH larger so why not hit both if you have the ability? Again, like I say it doesn't seem to stop germans (even with the laws they have about it), Dutch, Spanish and many others from popping up. However, I've yet to bump into many French doing this.
Even then the dialler argument makes little sense. That would maybe limit the sites they build but would be no reason to stop them coming onto boards for the odd chat or bit of info from the wider 'non-french' market. This is a global business no matter what country/language you target most and many elements (purchasing content for example) aren't particularly limited to one country.
