This may well be a reason. Another one that has probably played a role is
that France has a somewhat "independent" transhumanist or posthumanist
tradition which was not a direct offspring of the US movement and is only
vaguely connected to the same, mostly by third-party commentators.

See, e.g, http://www.lesmutants.com, Charles Campetier (Avec les robots, par
délà le bien et le mal<http://www.grece-fr.net/textes/_txtWeb.php?idArt=295>,
