>assumption that all meaningful engineering and innovation is performed at large companies the likes of Siemens
Because the leaders of companies like Siemens are the ones with speed-dial access to EU politicians who make the rules.
It's no surprise the the baggiest and wealthiest companies try to influence policies in ways that only benefits them at the expense of everyone else.
The difference is that biggest companies in EU are 100 years old industrial enterprises while in the US there are innovative tech companies.
EU legislation seems to work under the assumption that all meaningful engineering and innovation is performed at large companies the likes of Siemens.
The utter lack of meaningful influence and representation in the discussion is IMO the biggest culprit in this.
