BUT, for the French market only, the band 87.5 - 108MHz is blocked. That
is allocated internationally to VHF FM broadcasting so why ?

If memory serves me right, there is/was a special fee levied in France when consumer radio equipment that covered the FM broadcast band is/was sold, so to evade this, non-consumer radio equipment does not cover this band.
