Eh, our company doesn't use any of those (and not even out of any kind of ideology, it's just Google/AWS/Apple, which is of course equally bad). If the EU put the right incentives in place, governments and eventually even companies could migrate within a few years.

Okay just take my Microsoft example and template it for Google and AWS, the same point applies.

I'm hoping for a home-grown alternative to be born and adopted.

There's already a ton of alternative email hosting solutions, and things like nextcloud can take the place of Office365. It all exists already.

Comparing Nextcloud to O365...... well, I think you're missing the point and I'll just leave it there.
