If you dig one step beyond hetzner you should start to see that the whole thing is unavoidably global. There is no truly dominant monopoly holder anywhere. Who makes the photolithography machines? What about those weird Japanese companies that make chemicals and substrates that no one else can?
Once the chips are there in a EU datacenter, no geopolitical change can bring them away. And that already makes some difference.
