This is the case here in UK as well, but it depends at what price-point you're purchasing goods. If you're going as budget as can be, which I often do, then don't have ring-pulls or pull-tabs or whatever else they're called!In France, most of the cans/tins use this system:

Quite a lot of the bottles here need bottle openers. We certainly haven't adopted the twist-cap systems like you tend to see in America and suchlike! On the other hand, supermarket wines are veering towards screw top lids over corks! Fortunately, I've had some decent exposure to wines over the years (my grandfather is quite fond of his wine and both myself and my younger brother briefly worked in a wine merchants) so I'd rather get what they stock than what the supermarket tends to have!OK
That said, I bought a tin of vegetables produced in France at Morrissons (this isn't a budget brand), but it still needs a can opener. On the other hand, I bought a cheap can of baked bean from Aldi that use the current system...
Is it the same for bottles?
I bought an IPA (Punk something) beer bottle and it needs a bottle opener.

You have just reminded me I need a new garlic press after one of the handles snapped mid press!, it was over ten years old so I can't complain too much.Likewise, me and the OH have a Jamie Oliver brand garlic crusher (other brands obviously available...), and though we made a fuss about price initially it's lasted far longer than any others we've had, as well as doing a better job.
Also, @chris.hale, you've reminded me I need a new can opener. Mine is, in a word, sh*t.
Lazy garlic will solve your problem!You have just reminded me I need a new garlic press after one of the handles snapped mid press!, it was over ten years old so I can't complain too much.
Is it bad that I have both? Regular and lazy!Lazy garlic will solve your problem!
So do we....when my partner cooks...she goes through all the 'flaff' with the real stuff. I just unscrew the jar!Is it bad that I have both? Regular and lazy!
Cost too much! And I'm as tight as a ducks arse!Lazy garlic will solve your problem!
Why? Is it the possibility of splash back!I refuse to use those ring-pulls on cans, even if they have them I still use a tin-opener.
