I mean we are still waiting for the European Apple or Microsoft or Google or anything of that scale aren't we? China has it's own version of all this stuff, where is Europe's?

It's probably better not to repeat the same mistakes that the US made and not have monopolies. Building a diverse ecosystem with strong competition would result in a world leading economy. Essentially there needs to be 10x more Mistrals.
The issue is what kind of better service would move people over ?

They're monopolies or quasi monopolies.

China has their own because they block Apple Microsoft and Google, they are not competing with them.

How would European citizens benefit from having evil megacorporations?
