I get similarly annoyed that Maria Skłodowska-Curie is known only as Maria Curie pretty much everywhere, even though she was very particular about including the Polish portion of her surname on all of her work.

But in France the wives get the husband's last name when they marry, so Maria Curia is not that inaccurate.
Or even "Marie Curie"
From personal experience, the French have little regard for native writing or pronunciation of names.
