If you are not European, it doesn't seem very attractive for non-Europeans to deal with all the anti-business regulations.

Also just from the data that has been shared with me chargebacks/complaints/nitpicking/stinginess alone from this region seems to demoralizing compared to Americans/East Asia

We have this idealized view of a rich affluent "Europe" born from Marshall Plan but that certainly is not the actual reality today.

The EU started out as an economic union. They are still very capitalist. Which means they protect consumers, promote fair competition, and encourage trade between member states. They're neither mercantilist nor plutocratic.

Regulation is made to protect customers. Consumer trust is favorable to business in the long run.

It's really sad that US technologists confuse business and grift these days. Maybe it's related to their main customers being VCs, and the people using service just being props needed to have the line go up.

These are not "anti-business regulations".
