I am a 65 French and I agree this is hypocrisy.

The quality of spoken French goes lower years after years. The generation before me spoke a much better French than my generation even if we are supposed to be better educated. The same goes for the generations after mine.

Most speakers on TV, most journalists and even school teachers are using a small vocabulary (to be better understood?) and they make gross errors. Commonly they are using the wrong gender ("le porte", "le vis"). Most of the time they discuss in a "meta language" that has no meaning ("la météo va s'intensifier", "les prix augmentent à cause de l'inflation").

Many school teachers have not a good understanding of French grammar.
