The interesting thing is, that in Germany Microsoft and Deutsche Telekom used to have a set up, where you could buy O365 hosted by Telekom, without Microsoft (as a US company) having access to the data if they are asked for it, via the Cloud Act.
But as they had many integration problems, they stopped offering this service in 2018[1] (German).
I think looking at GDPR and Schrems2 requirements, this would have been a viable model.

In the mean time I think startups like Basecamp [2] that can provide a compliant alternative right now would get quite a lot of customers. One way of doing it is partnering with a European company to provide the same service out of reach to the US government.
