Absolutely, and IMO the EU should be developing our own semiconductors.

It seems completely unreasonable to me that one pillar of modern society has to be bought from USA or China and doesn't have a locally sourced alternative...

I’d definitely consider it being manufactured in the EU (given the privacy laws and generally responsible nature of some of the governments around this sort of stuff) to be a perk. I don’t really think the US government is spying on us through our “management engines” and that kind of stuff, but it would be a nice perk, to be 100% certain.
