alt Hacker NewsExcept domestic alternatives to the tech companies you listed were not driven out by them, they still exist today with substantial market share. American tech dominance elsewhere has more to do a lack of competition, and when competition does exist they're more often than not held at a disadvantage by domestic governments. So your counter narrative is false here.
> American tech dominance elsewhere has more to do a lack of competition,
Do you believe the lack of competition is purely because the products are superior?
US tech is now sort of like the dollar. People/countries outside the US need and want alternatives to hedge against in the event of political uncertainity but cannot do it completely for various reasons including arm twisting by the US govt.
One example is some govts and universities in the EU are trying to get rid of MS products for decades but they are unable to.
