A prerequisite for "purchasing" (renting) a .eu TLD is that you're a European Union citizen. Technically, it's against the ToS to rent one to anyone else. If they're not aiming for the market, I think they also can't get .eu domain.

That being said, it sure will be fun when all the British people/corporations won't be able to renew their .eu domains no more!

Unfortunately that’s the truth: https://ec.europa.eu/info/sites/info/files/notice_to_stakeho...

Maybe for .eu, but I don’t believe that’s true for all other EU TLDs (e.g. .co.uk (for another few months anyway...))
