Hi. I know this comment is super old but I just read it and I can give an answer.

Commas are actually used to mark decimals in a lot of languages instead of points. For example, I am Spanish and in Spanish, if we want to write down a number with decimals we use a comma (so a Spanish speaker would write 0,08 instead of 0.08). This happens in French too, and apparently according to wikipedia in a lot more languages and countries.

In addition, we use points where English speakers would use commas. For example, an English speaker would write one million this way: 1,000,000 (or just separate the numbers without commas), while a Spanish speaker would write 1.000.000

Now I'm assuming the creator of the game is Japanese since that's the language used for the game. According to wikipedia (I'm going to trust it this time), Japan uses the point to separate decimals. So my guess is that the author may know another language which does use commas instead of points, or jus thought it looked cooler that way.
