From your list, European people would miss only Apple and Google. Considering EU is the second largest market for both I highly doubt they would willingly leave the region. Even if this was the case EU would throw all it could to create heir own silicon valley. As a brazilian living in Paris, I have a feeling people here would see the exit of some this companies wih almost pride.

European people would not miss WhatsApp, Instagram, or TikTok?

WhatsApp is useful but has multiple competitors which offer similar or even better functionality - it will be replaced overnight by Telegram, Signal, Viber etc.

On the other hand neither TikTok or Instagram are actually a product which a society will miss its functionality, a lot would argue that we would actually be better off if they didn't exist at all.
