    What if you rephrased the question to “Why isn’t there a major EU computer/Internet company?”

      I don’t see how that rephrasing changes the outcome of the question. What’s your view on it? What is the difference you’re seeing with that modified question?

        The modified question takes a step back and asks why isn’t any EU innovation being used to create EU tech champions that can compete on the level of any US tech champion.

        Losing in one tech monopoly could be bad luck. Losing in all tech monopolies indicates that there may be major structural problems in the EU preventing these kinds of companies being created.
