Just to help shore up old institutional corporations like SAP, etc.

The EU is basically an association for German business owners and landowners. Happy to impede technological progress if it serves their interests.

The way the remote job market is being flooded by American companies proves your point. EU companies do not even try to compete with them, with a few exceptions.

Probably shouldn't oversimplify it. Ex: I'm in the USA and every company I've worked for in the past 20 years was remote work and based in Europe. They opened American offices to make some things easier here, but They Came From Europe (ooohhh spoooooky).

That's not true at all, and I don't see which interest there would be in hampering FOSS development.

Their interests are money and power, so this should be pretty self explanatory.

That's not true; The EU is also an association of French, BeNeLux business owners and royalty playing politics.
