If they started to actually build their own infrastructure 10 years ago, we would probably have very advanced and secure government OS and tools complementing usual use cases. China did it because it is capable. I am not yet convinced that Europe will not bungle it again. In recent times talking 2 minutes about technical issues is too much mental strain for a lot of people that need to make decisions. You don't have to be a geek to understand these issues, just some basic critical thinking skills would suffice. There is also risk here, but it should be easy to mitigate that. Also, people need training to use different applications.
