They should, but the entire EU economy runs on US clouds. It's hard enough to get new hardware as it is (US hardware btw), so how should the EU, especially today, move to sovereign clouds within the next few years?

I'd argue every single EU business with more than five employees would be impacted by such a decision. Just pulling the plug would be economic suicide.

Yes, just pulling the plug overnight is impossible. But preparing to pull the plug so that it becomes possible is not just sound, it is indispensable, because some day, the plug could be pulled by someone and if we're not prepared, we will be in dire straits indeed.
Time to dust off that sampling profiler and make code way more efficient, simple and well architected.
