In other words, French regulators are continuing to find ways to justify their existence.

Heh, precisely. They are surprisingly even more backward than Italy's and Spain's (regionally, usually it's a battle between the three, IMO) when it comes to this. Last year, they'd put out more of the same types of Press Releases, telling people they get hundreds of phone calls a month about people asking if Bitcoin's legit (so you know, you need lots of people to man those hotlines).
The funniest is their crypto scam blacklists, though (https://www.amf-france.org/en_US/Epargne-Info-Service/Mise-en-garde/Par-date). I imagine there are a few people who surf the net for HYIPs, probably from faucet site ads, and then when they detect fake info, they report it to a superior and the boss says, mmm good job, add it to our blacklist. And they feel happy.
Nah not really. The last time I visited the AMF's list all the sites/services listed where BTC scams. Most of the time, websites selling Bitcoin.
They don't blaclist HYIPs, all are scams so the average Joe doesn't need to ask if it's legit or scam
I remember, regarding ICOs, they wanted (or already have) to create like a badge, and every ICO with it could be considered as safe.
