that doesn't mean everyone pronounces it like that.

It does mean they are wrong if they don't though. Like if I meet someone child called Jean or Seán I wouldn't just call him John, or totally ignore how they are meant to be pronounced and go with how I read it, I'd go with how the parent pronounces it.

In French they're both pronounced the same.

Seán is a name originating in the Irish language. It is the Irish equivalent of the French Jean.
