Because French people working in the IT industry don't know it's an anglicism and are used to pronounce English words the English way.
However if you work in the construction industry you will hear "un pipeline".
In French, do you pronounce CIA the english way ? And API ?

Why do you think we do not know this is an anglicism? We went to school too :) > However if you work in the construction industry you will hear "un pipeline". Pronounced "un pipeuh-linne"? I had no idea that such a pronounciation existed but why not. > In French, do you pronounce CIA the english way ? And API ? CIA: cé-i-a API: ey-pi-aïe or a-pé-i But FBI would be ef-bi-aïe
