The audience of this website is disproportionately aware of the Therac-25 compared to the general public. For the obvious reason, engineering, but also geographically: The Therac-25 being a North American incident that affected Canada and the US. Whereas Theryc is a French company.
While I do agree with your point, as a Swede not even born when the incidents happen I still knew about it, was brought up in a computer science class.
I feel like I have heard about this in a million different management anecdotes in my corporate trainings about management stuff/QA.

CGR who provided the accelerators and basic PDP11-based computing platform were a French company.

I have been a Citroën enthusiast for about 30 years. I love French cars.
I have repaired lots of Valeo electronics modules for vehicles.
I'm not sticking my head in a French fucking particle accelerator.
