Why? It shows respect and thanks the English idiots like me who continue to live here and makes us feel a little more welcome in our home towns, and it is great for tourists who want to learn a little french while they're here. Right now I would feel very unwelcome here if I was visiting from the US.

FYI, that is exactly the law that is in place , word for word ...
As for US ( or other tourists ), they are greeted in Hotels, airports, taxis, etc ... in english . They can read english papers, listen to english radio stations and watch english TV stations ... pretty bad,
hey ?
