It's a regional thing in the Midwest at least. It's always called French bread in the grocery and even the fancy European style bakery downtown calles it a "FRANCESE" instead of a baguette.

A shout out to the girl at the till in my local Spar who broke our lovely fresh baguette in half to "make it fit in the bag"
[An image of a baguette in a plastic wrapper. The baguette is seperated in two halves and both halves are folded together like a hinge.]
They do this with Cuban bread here all the time (they do ask). Presumably you aren't making one yard long sandwich.
That would drive me nuts.
Honestly, It's just I wanna be the one who breaks my bread. ☹️
Oh Lord, we arrived at the point where cheap imitation of baguette in foreign countries are not worst than the one sold at home. We are lost...
