It's already happening, in part because of this and in part because of the unstable, unpredictable US government.

Several European countries are looking towards investing in open source as a way to get away from American big tech because they're suddenly considering US sanctions against them a real possibility, or at least a real threat.

Ayup. Why build your company on a service with a US company when they can - and have - fuck you on a whim?

With standalone installs you can keep trucking. Service as subscription? That's going to very quickly start dying off as the world destabilises.
