We are comparing US single market vs EU single market. It's EXTREMELY difficult for people not in IT to move across Europe. Many of us have spouses or family in professions which cannot easily be done in different EU countries due to the language limitations. That can easily set you back years in your career or force you to learn a language YOU DO NOT WANT TO LEARN. Another aspect is local culture. Europe is still INCREDIBLY centered around national cultures despite people trying to be more open. A lot of X-nationality are still acting according to stereotypes and it's incredibly hard to stay in such country longterm. Part of being happy is to live in a welcoming, happy place not just money and amazing infrastructure.
