Often, when I discover a privacy related project that I think is cool, I investigate further and find that a majority of contributors are French. (I think the last time this happened to me was https://cryptpad.fr/ )

So I think you're onto something there.

It's just a normal reaction of a ungovernable nation to a state that tries to regulate everything. They are already at the fifth republic, after guillotining their king. On the plus side they also love privacy, there's the right to one's image in France, employers are not allowed to disturb their employees with calls after work hours or during holidays and many other privacy and work related legal safeguards.
