Either you’re stupid or ignorant. What do you mean by easily spin up alternative android? And who is going to fund that? EU spend millions of Euros for a corona Warn app, and spinning an android alternative would cost billions, with tax payers money. Also everyone that uses iPhones, what are they going to do? Are they gonna get free android phones?
Forget about phones, all the companies that uses RDS would lose their data and that would be catastrophic.

Oh, European billionnaires and incumbent telecoms would love to. As soon as they get enough government concessions and guarantees. Who exactly? The ALDI family. Xavier Niel.
At least for people working in IT this is the fastest way to answer the question "how can we make it even worse?". Especially European incumbent telecoms. They're the answer to this question "do people sometime quit their job, in Europe, through suicide?". Yes, yes they do.

I'm pretty sure they are really looking forward to pocket billions of tax payers money. If they are so eager, why wait for the government? just go for it like the US counterparts.
