I've said it before, and I'll say it again. I *really* don't want European Hyperscalers to be a thing. Hyperscalers are at best a market/regulation failure and at worst a huge risk to create another one of these "too big to fail" scenarios.

I want a sane and healthy landscape of small- to midsize competitors in the hosting landscape.

It makes everything more robust and reliable.

Not sure why this is not a shared understanding anymore.
