There's plenty of European tech, but European tech companies either suck at marketing, suffer from outdated business practices, or get bought out by American companies when they start growing. Any data center can start competing with at least the important parts of Amazon/Google/Microsoft if they collect the right open source tools and invest in making them easily accessible, but very few seem to want to take any risks. They'd rather have customers stick to their own custom APIs and web dashboards than implement any kind of common standard. I want the European tech industry to be better, but if that's done through fining American companies into impracticality we'll only end up stuck with the annoying practices that have caused American companies to be so popular in the first place.
