If the author's premise is true, why didn't the French language spoken by the elites become the national language in Britain?

It's interesting that the article mentions Gaelic and Quechua, two languages/cultures I'm a bit familiar with. For that reason, I have to disagree with the conjecture that they'll be gone by 2030. I know both are undergoing a revival of sorts with those who speak it.

Knowing that the languages are endangered, those who still speak it are making concerted efforts to keep it alive and use it in daily life. I don't know that either will ever grow and be adopted by more speakers than they have now, but I suspect even in 25 years, there will be a core of people still speaking it similar to the number of those speaking it today.
