You are absolutely right - the French gov. may have not given visas - they are not obliged to grant instant visas to everyone who comes to their doorstep. They are already having problems on that front.
Millions, if not thousands of passengers travel by Air France and pass through Paris/CDG every year and many of these passengers do not have visa-free entry to France. Air France and/or CDG should know better to accomodate such passengers. This is not the first time that a aircraft has developed problems and come back to Paris/CDG with passengers who do not have visa free entry to France.
All this shows a huge lack of understanding of customers and their requirements - you cannot assume that flights will all go smoothly, every time. You MUST account anticipate and make provisions for such problems - that is the job of a good airline management and airport management. And in both cases, Air France and CDG have fallen short and caused undue suffering to passengers. Hence the need to avoid CDG and Air France - they are not going to change soon and most likely never will.
