...and yet they win big government contracts and nextcloud is the official cloud storage solution for a lot of german universities. Same for matrix - good idea on paper but implementation is not there at the moment - still they won some pretty big government contracts for Bundeswehr (military) chat and health chat. IMHO Europe should just do something like create an https://www.inria.fr/en https://www.inria.fr/en for writing sane software that acknowledges and handles the complexities of governance. Can't image that paying tons of grad students good money to design and hack something in Ocaml/Haskell that actually works is more expensive than the status quo.
