Many people in EU wants to distance themselves wherever possible from US. It's not an all-or-nothing. Of course people will continue to use Nvidia, Netflix and so on, but if there are European options then many people prefer that.

Yes, but only because the trust was broken by the US. For so long the EU was very happy to work with the US with trade, we both benefited.
Yeah. For me threatening to invade Greenland was a super red flag. I have not cared about US privacy & security laws. Even if people have talked about it and snowden exposed a lot, over a decade ago.
But by treating Greenland...
I see a real shift in the political environment from the EU [1]

Yes, of course. People's willingness to trade with a country goes down when the country threatens to invade.
