Also if there were GOOD European alternatives to those google service people would use them, but there simply aren’t. Low salaries and terrible regulations are to blame.
Honestly, what, beyond the account infrastructure, is integrated in googles consumer products?
There are no good European alternatives due to a conflation of these issues, not just because of regulations, that's such a naive (or willingly ignorant) take on a complex issue.
How would European tech companies start and compete against FAANG right now? Given that the EU market is quite fragmented between demographics and language? How can an European tech company avoid being acqui-hired or acqui-killed by one of the current massive tech giants?
If you don't develop your arguments of what kind of regulation holds EU tech companies back and posit that against the issues I mentioned then I can't really trust you understand the problem and differences between markets that give benefits to the US economy, as it always had, it's a massive and more homogeneous economy than the EU.
Let's compare US vs China tech as that seems more of an appropriate comparison from the baseline.
Low salaries, yes, but that's a failure of leadership, but also a systematic problem of companies inability to make tons of money.
It's a long laundry list and it can't be boiled down just to a few things, they are so intertwined it's hard to separate the issues.
