Not true. We’ve seen the U.S. leverage big tech against its perceived enemies by shutting them down remotely. Unless Europe bends over backwards to serve the U.S. fascists’ every whim, this form of blackmail-by-proxy is going to continue, and it’s only going to get worse.
So the calculation is not: “cost of switching” vs. “cost of continuing the existing vendor lock-in”.
It is: “cost of switching” vs. “cost of shutting down operations for good”.
It’s really easy maths if you break it down to its core. It’s maths that even the most bone-headed of our leaders and business “experts” can do.
