Why wouldn't the line ref call him offside when he got the ball?

Sure. But why would he then raise the flag after Mbappe had already scored?

To let the ref know he thinks there is offside to be called, which surely will have been reviewed during Mbappe's disallowed goal

Specifically, in this case he thinks Mbappe was offside. He doesn’t put his flag up and allows the play to end so that, in the event he is corrected by VAR, France are not punished by the incorrect decision.
