    I get using a comma as a radix, sure. It makes grammatical sense, like saying “two, and three tenths”, just a little pause between concepts.

    But how does it make any sense anywhere to use a full-stop for grouping digits?! “1.000.000.000.000” looks ludicrous, not to mention we can’t even agree on whether thats a billion or a million!
