Why is it remarkable that the company is based in Amsterdam?

I live there. There's a decent but not great startup culture. The services infrastructure is fantastic and there are many massive multinationals based here.

I read this sentence as saying "outside the valley" more than saying that Amsterdam is a particularly surprising place.

I believe that "remarkable" was referring to Adyen getting and seeking little to no publicity compared to Stripe, yet having a higher market valuation, rather than its location in the Netherlands.
