Because we're talking about PEP 8, and PEP 8 intends to cover the code style used when writing code in the *Python standard library*. I don't think other Python core developers would like to read code with comments written in French (or, indeed, in Russian or Japanese or...). We're not talking about third-party projects, which indeed choose whatever style and language suit them.
