Meta is ordered by a district court to pay Norwegian crowns 1 million (USD ~94.000) (edit: per day) for not offering an opt-in model regarding behaviorbased ads. Not sure if Meta is sufficiently intimidated by this to change its ways though.

I’d say it’s language-based. In English, 10.000 means 10. In many other European languages, it means 10000. In some languages I speak, large numbers are separated with a comma every fourth numeral.
In any case, it’s a good idea to follow the conventions of the language you’re using if your goal is to communicate with all of its speakers and not just a subgroup.
By the way, honest question:
> In some languages I speak, large numbers are separated with a comma every fourth numeral.
Which languages are those? I live in Japan, and whereas the spoken language separates numbers by myriads (as do most other languages in East Asia), numbers are usually written down with commas every 3 digits, which is really confusing...
Sometimes you will see numbers written with the corresponding kanji after every four digits, like 1億2345万6789, which I like because it quickly tells you the magnitude, but it is not very common.
I also see that mixed character-numeral format you mentioned pretty commonly here in Taiwan, especially with 萬 (simplified to 万 in Japan post-WWII). For really large numbers, there's usually not so much precision, so the tail part is just dropped.
10,00 looks like a typo, either of 10,000 or of 10.00, but if I saw it surrounded by a bunch of German text, I’d know it meant 10.
