Why are competitors not viable?

Because the USA is a large protectionist market that doesn't like EU companies doing business there?

Because USA outspends EU to become dominant?

Because even with the EU wide laws, it's still more expensive to follow every local law compared to USA vs USA states?

When US can't compete, they just ban stuff. See Huawei and TikTok.
