Idk, if they put up with their pensions being invested in neg interest rate euro junk now, I don't see how some DPI and tech providers that may have questionable quality/service that they are in charge of is any worse. Might as well keep squeezing…

I think you misunderstand the role of the EU

Every time someone says "I think the EU is overreaching here" the response always is "the EU literally has no power at all"

Actually you might be right: it's really Germany and France pulling the strings here.
