Why would an US employee leak personal data just because they’re in the US? It would be a clear violation of employment and probably criminal.

So one concern (and it's not just a theoretical concern; it has happened) is that a US court forces the US branch to use access it has to data held by the EU branch to exfiltrate data. Companies with the highest standards on this stuff will want either a pure-EU host or a host structured such that this can't happen.

US court says hand over the data. German court says that's illegal to do. Complying is illegal and so is not complying.
Not Complying with US law is also illegal, now imagine who has more to say in that regard.
Hetzner should split up in two Company's.
BTW:
The CLOUD Act applies to all electronic communication service or remote computing service providers that operate in the U.S, whether those providers are established in the United States or another country.
Fully legal thanks to "cloud act":
