I just believe it is a very hard problem. Every country speaks a different language, has different regulations, different shipping companies, etc. It would be extremely hard to operate an EU-wide Amazon, and thus they do not.

Amazon already operates EU-wide both on their Logistics (there's only one shared by all) and their frontends (all of them work for all countries and share the same code and login). They've already achieved a superset of what amazon.eu should be. A more likely explanation for why they have IT/FR/ES/UK/DE/etc is that they gave the job of entering each country to different teams.
