We dont; we need USA pay processors alternatives, and of those in EU we have plenty (but I don't know your specific country, so maybe not in your country).

There are some (many is really a stretch) but not available in many countries nor supported by many merchants.

I wouldn't really know, I live in Poland and whenever I go West I'm surprised how backward technologically it is (France, Spain, Italy, Switzerland; only Portugal seems to be modern).

Maybe not backward but lacking internet-related improvements, like being able to take care of government thingies online (I think Denmark is the best in that regard), pay using your national pay processors, get cheap internet, update your opening hours online, not take a 4h break midday... you know, common conveniences
