@daringfireball I think what you’re missing with your American perspective is there’s a real sense of distrust in America and American tech giants in Europe. They’ll happily go without features. See for example the wide-scale rejection of Microsoft Teams across European governments (something I’m sure you agree with?)

Yet another European government is ditching Microsoft for Linux - here's why

This state made the open-source shift, and chances are it won't be the last.

@daringfireball Europe as a whole is also a culture much happier to embrace regulation and laws. They’ll accept higher taxes and reduced ‘freedom’ in exchange for a fairer and more equal society. It may seem insane to your American perspective but is embraced here.
