Yeah it does, not sure why are we talking about that though. It's a complete misrepresentation of the situation.
Let's take Google services as an example. I'm no fan of Google but their integrated search/Maps/PoI/hotels/directions/flight tickets experience was perfect, my workflow depends on it a lot. Now I can't use it without a US VPN, the only thing I get without it are some useless web search results and a small picture of a map that doesn't show anything interesting and doesn't do anything on click.
Not going "back" BTW, I was born in EU. And of course, it's really not just about the online services. Land costs absurd money, wages are absurdly low, energy strategy is completely idiotic and thus energy prices are absurd, business administration is unnecessarily hard, regulations are hard to understand and navigate, and so on. I don't want to live in an environment where a bunch of ideologists chosen by people out of my own state fight my life at every step. Wanna bet when they try to pass Chat Control again? Why am I required to own a Google/Apple controlled device to do basically anything, like register a car or pay taxes?
