That was a rhetorical question, of course they went with Google because it's better and faster than anything in Europe. My point is that Europe will never be able to match Google levels of hyperscalers as long as buying from Google is cheaper and faster.

China's ban on US tech was a blessing in disguise as it brewed a strong domestic industry competitive to the US even if it'll never be on par. EU tech industry is even further behind.
