>They are failing to recognize that their business is successful in large part because of the infrastructure in their country, the educated people they can hire, the healthcare, etc

Empirically that seems to be false, given the number of successful businesses created in Europe in the past couple decades is way way less than in the US or China, even though Europe has better infrastructure, education and public healthcare.
