For tech and science, english must be used as lingua franca/default. This has nothing to do with any property of english or it's speakers, it is simply the path of least resistance for everyone involved. Due to media and existing materials, english (even badly worded/spoken) is much easier to pick up than most languages and opens up the most opportunities to the most people. Learning Chinese is for example is much more difficult for most non-chinese with no added benefit unless they travel to china or work for a chinese company. Perhaps if english was renamed to internationalese it would make things easier and more palatable.
