I agree that they're not able to compete, but I'm pretty sure they aren't doing it out of spite. I think they just see it as a big, monopolistic market that needs opening to competition (they have taken similar steps in other sectors as well, btw)

You do know Europe has it's own stock market with hundreds of fin and big techs?

EU doesn't have any big tech, i.e. tech companies the size and power of Google/Amazon/Meta/Microsoft/Apple.

OK, give my the name of a European company you consider "Big Tech?"
