I agree each thing is not difficult to replace, but replace all SaaS products that are used might be more challenging. Some data out there from a quick google is saying companies use on average 300+ SaaS products. Not all of them are going to be from US companies, but probably a large amount is, so we're looking at probably over a hundred or 2 of products that need to be replaced with local or EU ones across all companies in Europe. That seems like a lot of work and disruption.

Oh, yeah, it’d be a complete nightmare for everyone involved. But it’s likely doable; in particular providers would be _strongly_ incentivised to provide compliant solutions (again, many SaaS providers could manage this by avoiding directly touching PII).
