"In a nutshell, the US government claims it should not matter where the data is stored. What matters is whether the company can access that data in the US."

Ugh, not that I like the idea, I kind of think they are correct.

Sadly, that still gives US citizens effectively more control over their data : the right to not give up encryption keys because they might be used to incriminate you is pretty much exclusive to the US.

Also: US citizens CARE about this. Well, some do. That alone makes them far better off, over time. Europeans are really worse off, but no-one cares.
