Europe needs to mitigate the risk. Building a genuine alternative will take a lot of time and money, but they can mandate critical infrastructure must be in the EU, data must stay in the EU, with suitable backups and technical staff to maintain it.

Even stuff like Execl and Outlook are software as a service these days. Outages could cripple business and government. Again, you have to mandate protections in the short term and replacement in the longer term.
Open source building blocks are there, could heavily invest in it.
