I think you are conflating marked share with quality of offering.

Indeed there are viable local options for many of these things. Heck, the reason why European companies have so little relative marked share, is because they serve smaller, domestic, markets.

A Danish webshop provider probably has a better offering for a webshop for servicing the Danish market. It probably has better support for Danish accounting, better locale support etc.

Do Danes have unique server needs compared to the rest of the world?

And Danish laws and Danish accounting systems and Danish gov agencies to maybe integrate with, etc

(Maybe more relevant for SaaS than servers though)

Don’t strawman the parent post, they have already generalized US service dependency beyond OP, and there are already examples of local needs above:

That's an issue for the webshop service provider ;)
