"European countries doing poorly when it comes to modern tech" has never been an opinion. You're confused, and your petty vindictiveness is unmotivated. The EU as a space of commerce is not yours to do with as you wish. You have to follow rules and regulations just like our own companies have to. And if your country had not been engaging in espionage and sabotage then there would never have been a need for these "unfair" and "underhanded tactics".

Is there a reason the biggest EU software companies are the likes of SAP and Capgemini, or niche players like Spotify? I mean, I'm not talking about the USA or China, even Russia has a more impressive tech sector. Could it have something to do with various regulations?
