It’s not only European revenue. If they leave the EU, the EU becomes a place where future competitors to their other revenue can grow.
Imagine Samsung (maybe not the best example, given their track record in software) stepping in with a fork of the open source parts of Android, to be sold in the EU.
That will be inferior to the full Android, but wouldn’t be killed by it because EU customers wouldn’t be able to choose it.
Over time, it could get closer to Android and, at some time, Samsung could start selling it successfully in Asia or the USA.
