We currently have no contemporaries for any of even the most advanced French designs, anyways. I realized this as I was thinking how to reply.
We don't have the 109D or the 109E-1, or the Hurricane 1 with the 2 bladed wooden prop, or the early low octane spit1 with the wooden prop. Hell we don't even have the early Ju87B model. And those are just the contemporaries for the best (the D.520). We don't have anything old enough to combat the older (more common) French designs. So there's really no hole there... more like a sheer cliff with nothing before XXXX date. The French ones are off the cliff, so to speak. You might as well ask why we don't have the Gloster Gladiator, the obsolete Cr.42, the He51, and so on. They just are below the proverbial cut-off point, it seems.
We just don't have anything at all before a certain point, and the French ones seem to be before that point. If you add 1 you have to add 10 more just so it has something to compete against in scenarios.
