The french felt the same way about the Eiffel tower, until visitors from all over the world came to visit it and loved it.

His name has to be one of the most widely used crossword clues ever.

Not to be mean, but who gives a shite what the French think or have to say.

His work in Alexandria is amazing.

He also designed the Meyerson Center (DSO's home) and another building or two in Dallas.

it's one of the most famous/photographed landmarks in Paris

Because it's planted right outside one of the most famous museums on the planet. People are there to see the Louvre, not the glass pyramid.

You can criticize it all you want, it's absolutely an icon of Paris at this point. I bet the number of people who go to take a photo of the pyramid and don't go to the museum is depressingly high, actually.
