Because an AI model developed in the EU will, by design, be compliant with EU data and AI regulations from day one, which makes it a strong selling point for companies looking to launch AI-powered products on the EU market?

Yes, regulatory compliance is a significant concern for software product design in the EU these days. But that's a good thing - it stops a lot of hare-brained ideas and abusive business models at the drafting phase. Also, from my own observation, the rules seem annoying at first, because they tend to shut down the most exciting ideas - but after a while you notice that this is because those ideas come with bad failure modes and bad second-order effects, and regulations are forcing you to actually consider them.

Maybe for businesses like governments.

But EU citizens want good AI models, not EU approved models, and people can use VPN. Because regulatory process kills fast moving business and whatever is rubber stamped by EU bureaucracts and compliance-industrial complex law firms sucking out money by selling snake oil compliance services is already few years behind.

Would you buy a three years old car as a new?

Different markets are made of up different people, who (‘s leaders) may want different things…

The car market is a great example. The US market has decided it doesn’t want EVs from the biggest EV producer in the world (China), so people are indeed buying cars with older technology than what the new global standard has become thanks to China’s successfully state-sponsored EV market.

It may very well be that the US leads globally in AI, while some markets handicap access and development for internal reasons.

I wouldn't buy a car that sometimes goes the opposite way of where I want and where the manufacturer tells me they have no idea why.

Regardless of how I feel about the price of the old car, I wouldn't buy the new car if it's not legal to drive on public roads.
