This discussion presumes the laws would be obeyed, but we see the laws being openly bended by nations wanting to.

For a small/medium business in EU ESC is an overkill. Their data has no strategic value. Just use whatever infrastructure you want.

For any large company working at global level, owning cutting edge technology ESC is not a protection.

US just stolen a president of foreign country, do you really believe they would hesitate to do this with anybody else if they want?

The rule of law no longer exists in the US. The regime is bragging that an officer who killed a woman on camera won’t even be investigated. And even if there were an investigation or even a criminal conviction, it would just be voided using the executive pardon power. Everyone committing federal crimes on behalf of the regime has de facto absolute immunity for this reason.
