Why would ANY global business still rely on U.S. Tech? The U.S. government, through their executive orders and dissolving of the separations of powers, has demonstrated its ability to unilaterally disrupt or shut down private technology services at will. How can any business justify depending on U.S.-based tech infrastructure when its access could vanish overnight on a political whim by an unstable president?

If there is no rule of law, capital, talent and trust are flowing out of that country - for good reason.

I wish, but for a corporation morale grounds are not enough, and the facts speak for the contrary. Even with all the insanity, the US would not touch something as insanely profitable as this, and the government is very protective of the top tech firms. Also on the technical level, EU companies are simply not in the same ballpark.
