> But why would the Europeans want to copy the US "cloud" model of micro-compartmentalizing services…
Maybe it’s the best approach? Maybe it’s more profitable and European companies want to grow their business?
If Europe copy winner takes fraud is allowed and price transparency higwash ideology, then it will also end up with exact copy of current American dysfunction - ultimately including loss of democracy, Trump figure with unchecked power and failing constitution.
Europe can fail on its own, but recreating the exact billionaires are able to scam everything will make it fail faster.
best for who? for the cloud provider for all the vendor lockins? theres hardly anything i like about the popular cloud providers to be honest
