Not even french but "octet" makes a shitton more sense than fucking "byte" because it avoids confusion.
ever noticed how ISPs always insist on measuring their data plan and expected speeds in megabits instead of megabytes (the number you're actually fucking interested in) so it appears larger? It's possible because a normie is oblivious to the difference between MB and Mb.
But the difference between Mb and Mo is absolutely fucking massive and unable to confuse.

We use bits when we're talking networking
Use bytes when you're talking storage

Make sense. Amerilards would not understand.

And using "octet" instead of "byte" would not change it. But it would help to avoid confusion
