A few things here (with citations).

France has stated that a "health pass" would be required for cafes, restaurants, shopping centres, hospitals, retirement homes and social institutions, as well as for long-distance trips on flights, trains or buses (https://www.indiatoday.in/fact-check/story/fact-check-france-has-not-banned-unvaccinated-people-from-purchasing-food-at-supermarkets-1828670-2021-07-15)

The health passes are required in places of 50 people or more (https://www.gouvernement.fr/pass-sanitaire-toutes-les-reponses-a-vos-questions). To be fair however, after August 9th the 50 people requirement was removed (and no limit was specifically set).

I find your 99.9% number questionable. Where did you find that, beside the hyper-reliable twatter comments? Also, if they are requiring to show these passes, one would logically assume that at some point, they would not allow those without the passes or else this whole thing literally serves no purpose.

It's the law.

While the pass will be needed to get access to shopping centers, the government was careful to exclude supermarkets. This means that French citizens who have not been vaccinated and haven’t got a negative test, will still be able to shop for food.

Incrementalism: belief in or advocacy of change by degrees; gradualism

Also, I highly doubt the law stipulated 99.9%.
