You must be new to the IT then.
Clouds are only US, and they hold all the data and traffic for most of the world.
Before them, operating systems - everyone and their mother using Windows.
Phones? Google or Apple.
Communication? Teams. Shared documents? Exchange. Countries are balls and hair deep in the US since the 90s and nobody really cared to do anything about it. SAP, Sellsforce, Palantir, Jira, Confluence, Github, many others I'm not even aware of, all US companies holding everything that companies and countries need in the US way before any AI. Which doesn't even fucking work.
None of this is new.
Alternatives are there, but they need the money everyone sends to the US.
Except SAP is German.
My bad.
They are still on the same level though.
