There can be several motivations that are all equally valid. We should ask Europeans if they think national security has become a major concern in the face of their overwhelming reliance on USA technology and services.

Is this American overwhelming or European overwhelming? You know, the way everything is bigger in America? The claim is inflated. Yes, the US dominates parts of the digital tech economy. To imagine that as unilateral dependence is foolish. The US depends on European companies like ASML, hundreds of billions in European investment annually. Europeans used to trust the US and were happy to buy US products and services. That's over now. The US, and particular, the current administration, has shat the bed. The decoupling is underway and will not be reversed. I recommend the YouTube channel HouseOfEL if you'd like read the writing on the wall.
