This doesn't apply to all french speaking regions. Switzerland use septante and nonante and in some regions of the country also huitante.

was gonna say props to Switzerland and Belgium for having proper numbers :) idk why we don't switch

Probably because the cost of switching isn't worth it. Same reasoning as the imperial system and driving on the left (barbaric, I know)
