French fries might be from Paris where it was sold on the Pont Neuf in 1780.. They are called frite so no claim of national dish. French press was first patented in 1852 in France. Again it just called cafetière à piston so piston coffee machine. Idk from where it is from but again we just call it pain perdu which translate to lost bread because it is a good recipe for old bread you forgot in the kitchen. Last one is the normal kiss here and fun fact a kiss with the mouth close is called a smack
So yeah why does the american/english don’t do more research about origins and call everything french ?

It’s because deep frying was not very common in the U.S. Immersion in hot fat was considered a French style of cooking, so they’re French style fried potatoes. I think “fries” instead of “frieds” is dialect that caught on nationally in the U.S. in the 70s.
