This has been a looong time in the coming, maybe since at least the Patriot Act (2001), and definitely since the Snowden scandal...
It's indeed the US companies dominance in the EU which explains all the denial around this, and of course the still good relations between the countries : compare with the ban in the USA of the Chinese company Huawei...
