I think they were talking about the internet infrastructure itself (not even data centers) rather than where the companies are registered.
> Europe has a cloud so basic and primitive
You do know that AWS, Google, Azure and Oracle all have data centers in Europe?
> basic software development
What does this even have to do with “software development”? You do know that you can run your American software on European servers and the other way around? We’re well past the PAL vs NTSC thing..
AWS, Azure, and Google have data centers in Europe. I am sure lots of other companies (like Cloud Flare) have servers in Europe too. Most large providers are global companies which operate in as many countries as possible.
> They also have nothing like Cloudflare and dozens of other large cloud services companies. Europe has a cloud so basic and primitive you'd think they were a developing economic region still struggling to grasp basic software development.
You have no idea what you are talking about.
If you think Europe, which has United Internet(Ionos), OVH, scaleway, and many others is a developing region, you have never seen the hosting market in an actually developing market.
