Hertzer in Europe is pretty good, but they don't have first mover advantage and they haven't got as much control of mindshare in governments. A lot of people only discovered their existence once the US went to the dark side.
Technically many of these server/hosting companies were in the market first. Hetzner is older than AWS. Mailbox is like 10 years older than gmail/google.
So the US companies are the ones who didnt have first mover advantage.
I meant at hyperscaling. AWS was already doing it with their own servers, so they had both the producer and consumer working in one place to expand out.
