And the government has lots of leverage it can use against Amazon and MS if they use it in a way the government doesn't want. EU govts don't have that

You're assuming the people who handle it for the government weren't working at Amazon and Microsoft a year ago, and won't again be working for Amazon and Microsoft a year from now.

The government doesn't have leverage. The government is Amazon and Microsoft's leverage against others.
