French President Emmanuel Macron said last year he wanted a rail pass for all, but after months of negotiations, a scaled-back version has been agreed.
The original plan was to make it valid both in France and Germany. Not sure what happened, but frankly the cost argument is ridiculous given how much money is spend on way worse transportation by the government otherwise.

Presumably they want to make them enthusiastic about rail travel, so having to suffer through DB would be counterproductive.
In Germany there is already a 49€ ticket for everyone. It was France who did not want it
