I don't see anything wrong here. here's what could also happen, but has not:

> EU does thing the US hasn't

HN: OH SHIT USA NEEDS TO HURRY UP AND DO THING TOO

EU just needs to stop being behind technologically.

EU constantly does things the US hasn't - such as consumer protection laws. But HN response to that is always "oh no EU is bullying US companies".

Why should they be more ahead?

The EU is great for science and research, but terrible for actually building anything.

The UK (although no longer part of the EU) is the homeplace of trains yet can no longer build train tracks.
