It sure doesn’t. When people pronounce it like that, they’re imitating a segment from a kids’ show (forget whether it was Dexter’s Lab or Jimmy Neutron)

French ‘r’ doesn’t sound like ‘w’

In the word ‘croissant’ it sounds a lot more like English W than English R (as well as very different from R in other French words).

No it doesn’t. The r in croissant is a very pronounced r sound. It is just English speakers pronouncing it wrong who thinks it resembles a w more.
