Sorry to be so blunt but every EU competitor sucks ass. So if the EU has it their way, it is us Europeans the ones getting fucked.

It’ll be bad for a while, but alternatives will pop up. There’s plenty of money to be made.

Europe is Apple’s third largest market, making $90 billion last year alone. You don’t think other companies will step up for even a tiny percent of that?

Why haven't they? OVH is probably in the best spot to do so but their offerings are trash compared to Amazon/Google/Microsoft's.

It’s way easier to set up a business and get funding in the US, with a lot less bureaucracy.

If those US companies were to go away however, the market will adjust to Europe/Asia grown companies.
