D̶e̶u̶t̶s̶c̶h̶l̶a̶n̶d̶ ̶ EU Über Alles ? Digital nationalism?
I don't really get this fragmentation in a free world. Why should i use product that is less competitive just because companyX servers a located in a country that is theoretically more friendly? Even that is a big question.
If you live in Poland or any Eastern European EU member, in this case GB, US do more to protect you from absolutely real War risk.
Germany, France, Austria government is absolutely corrupted they lead to situation when Russia think it can claim rights on other sovereign countries. Half of eastern Europe felt left behind. Same with China relationship. How many people will lose their job because china is building their capital on not fairly regulated market, stolen Intellectual property. EU don't care. No real protection. They afraid tensions(polite form of saying corrupted) even when this tension means protect own citizen.
At the same time ex german counselor works at Gazprom to Lobby corrupt interests. He got an official title. Russia takes this money and execute, poison people, blow up military objects in European countries.
But EU built a nice website to support corrupted governments via taxes. Maybe first get some responsibility and do your job?
Who said the product is inferior? Have you checked any of these?
More discoverability of alternative offerings is always better, for both the customer and supplier, unless the supplier is a monopolist.
In my experience middle sized companies that still have to prove themselves and build good will offer (much) better servivce / product than mature corporations run by beancounters who are focused on "monetising" their userbase most effectively.
because that what market shows. One market has 0 regulations and it strives. Other with all regulations and theoretically bigger population by almost 50% still struggles to be at comparable size. One pays up to $500k a mo for a dev position other pays pennies promising you some kind of pension. Classical regulated vs free market
