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 may elements (purchasing content for example) aren't particularly limited to one country.

With that logic, all niche site webmasters should go into mainstream. After all, the mainstream market is much larger than any of the niches, right?
There are French webmasters that do English language sites (e.g.
http://www.xnxx.com/ ), but most don't simply because they have access to a market more familiar than them, which is less competitive and very profitable.
Also, for your information, I am European, and run European websites. You don't seem to get the dialer argument - dialers make WAY more money than memberships. $20 a month recurring or $40 an hour, you choose what you want to get...
