Companies are supposed to be the nimble ones, not the government. Most of the time it’s companies that drive adoption of something, not governments. Governments are normally the slowest at adopting anything that makes sense.
To now turn it around and say “no, we will wait until the government adopts the tech” is backwards.
The countries have a lot of personal information about the citizens and I think a majority of the population wishes that the data about them are stored and handled securely and that other countries do not have access to it. And the government itself doesn’t want their mails and stored data to be available for foreign interest, which it is if the data is stored at AWS, Google or Microsoft. So I think the governments and the citizens all around Europe should have a lot of interest in changing to European solutions.

Unfortunately that’s just propaganda, similar to “private companies keep costs low”

Migrations are extremely costly for businesses, they’d likely need a legal or fiscal reason to do so.
