My eyes rolled so far back I hurt myself.
Please provide some examples of where the EU has been able to do a fraction of what you listed to large, US based firms in the past.
Looking at the future, if you want a trade war and an excuse for the new US administration to completely neglect NATO obligations this is a great start.

Provide an example of where a large firm decided to ignore EU law and go ahead with a merger that the EU objected to.
No-one wants the nuclear option, on either side. But if anyone ever tries to call the EU's bluff, they may find out the EU wasn't bluffing at all.

Yes.
Windows is on ARM. Apple is on ARM. AWS and Ampere make decent ARM servers. You have decent x86 user-space compatibility on ARM laptops. That is all users want.
I doubt it will cost 'mythical amounts of money'. Most users use a web browser and an office suite. I doubt they will know a difference for a while.
