"That's a very generic statement on a situation that can have a zillion factors ;" There is 'one factor' that's relevant, and that is there is no apparent need to move data to the EU, and even not that basis it's not clear if that would be sufficient. The 'factor' is that it's a fuzzy requirement at best that definitely will require investment and opportunity cost. " so "nobody" is demonstrably wrong. " It's besides the point, there are almost 0 products on the market for which 'hosted in EU' will move the needle on customer acquisition. Maybe some SaaS here and there, but even in that case, it would be a feature that could be researched and then one could write a material business case around 'moving it to the EU to acquire customer segment X which is worth $Y in revenue. And that's definitely something that would start coming back from the sales team i.e. 'Big EU Co. asked about this, it's going to be key in the sale' - which is how regular product operations are done. But without needing to do it, it makes little sense.
