I'm on EuroDNS as domain registrar for many years, parked there a couple of companies where I worked. They don't have scammy vibe of other registrars, have multi-user accounts, which is convenient for businesses.
What namecheap is doing seems to be a great way to lose most of the customers and go bankrupt. I don't think that's what private equity funds want when they acquire a business.
Cloudflare is pretty affordable and it seems unlikely to be bought by PE

Hetzner, OVHcloud are decent European options. I migrated to them after geopolitical risks with US providers got too high. No problems so far.
Have you ever contacted their support? I'm thinking about switching to Hetzner.
Hetzner and other German companies are NOT known for their good service.
Hetzner support is terrible. Days waiting for a canned response that clearly shows they didn't read the ticket request at all.

Dynadot. Over a decade without issues.
Porkbun has been good to me.
infomaniak.ch is swiss, and (relatively) good. Lacking features overall (though their domain+DNS is solid), but at least no bullshit like this
Could they also get bought by private equity? It seems a lot of things get bought by this
Short of sanctioned jurisdictions pretty much anything can get purchased. You just get a local corporate lawyer to help straighten things out
