So France is different from Germany where you can get the address updated and you are supposed to do that. And proof of address is not a utility bill there, but either a form from your landlord or land register.

Same conclusion: You still have bills, tax bills, etc, so there is still no need for anything else if you wanted to keep things as simple as necessary.

Because you've decided to do that, not because there is a practical requirement, which is my point.

Not really, as you still need to show a passport that you and the bills go together (which is still conjecture, to be honest, if the name is common). Why have two things?

Edit: because the decision was to have a strong ID system, so when people show an ID with an address the confidence is high in that being correct.
