That's not the point. The UI is not appropriate. It makes me feel like I can ask this type of question, where in fact it cannot. I'm sure that if I asked the same question replacing France and US by Norway and Sweden, I'd get the same answer.

But they add insult to injury by showing you a typical email+password form, and when you press [Tab] after the email address and start typing your password, the form is replaced under your eyes with a dialog to choose which account you want to log in, only then followed by a password prompt.
