The (non-english, non-french) head of quant at a (non-french) bank I used to work at introduced a rule of "English only on the desk during trading hours" for exactly this reason.

I have known several traders who have deliberately hidden (or cultivated) second languages to better hear what is going on on heavily multilingual trading desks.

One thing that’s weird to me is why there are so many more French pricing and sell-side quants than trading and buy-side quants.

I don’t think it’s that weird, the most prestigious French masters programs (El Karoui) focused on stoch calc, probability theory and derivatives pricing for years, and ignored statistics, optimization, ML and programming.
