The TV licence fee is automatically charged on French Property taxes as you say.

However you failed to mention that it is added in as a separate "line" and you can get a full refund if you sign a declaration to state that you do not own a Television.

Once you have claimed your refund, they will send you a letter in advance of next year's property tax bill enabling you to declare in advance, your TV Tax is then not even charged.

Blank Media Levy

So if the proposed blanket licence goes forwards, I presume they will repeal the blank media levy (Loi 311-01 and 311-04) that already exists in France, and which already compensates artists & producers - how many times do these people want paying for the same thing?
