Summarizes everything about EU and tech laws in the last few decades.
They fail to attract talent and they end up regulating big tech which they are unable to even create.

Not everyone thinks it is desirable to have "big tech" companies. I see their existence as a failure to balance the market. Heck, as a swede I find Spotify too big, but they are a bunny compared to the big US tech companies.

It's analogous to the Twitter (RIP) vs Mastodon debate. Lots of people declaring that "Mastodon will never be the next Twitter" as if that was something to be desired.
Difference in worldview I suppose.

Should it be the task of the EU to enable creating big tech?
Is that a positive thing for society?

Not to create, but at least not make it harder due to regulations/legislations.

Hm, Estonia doesn't have a bad track record of successful tech companies (Skype, Wise, Bolt, et al) given we're talking about a 1.5M citizen state. In addition, civil services there are embarrassingly well organized.
Saying this as a German: If you take Germany's tech and civil services sector, you're absolutely correct.
