More like you don't know. Linus Torvalds is now an American citizen working in the US, like many other brilliant Europeans in the CS filed, and most importantly, the market cap[1] of the top US tech companies alone is greater than the combined tech sectors of EU, Switzerland, UK and Norway.
Most of the companies you listed have a relatively low market cap in comparison and are being squeezed by Chinese and US companies.
It's hard to underestimate just how big, wealthy and influential the US tech sector is. EU's tech sector is not in in the race by comparison. Sure, we have ASML as a local world leading champion, but that's just one single company, and even they are dependent on the US for the EUV licensing.
