You really can't win with some people.
If the EU invests into research and development of a feature that a US tech company already offers (as a proprietary, closed-source service), it's needless duplication and a futile effort in catching up.
Yet if it doesn't, that's admitting defeat in the face of competitors and the wrong move as well.

The example we're talking about is powered by a Marian, developed and open-sourced by a US multinational, Microsoft. The Horizon project was to use that to create a Firefox plugin, which they did. Another US multinational, Mozilla, later integrated into Firefox. Firefox has 4.55% market share in Europe. > Yet if it doesn't, that's admitting defeat in the face of competitors and the wrong move as well. You are presenting a false and frankly bad faith dichotomy.
