If that were what companies genuinely felt they'd already have left, but pecunia non olet, even if you have to pay taxes on it

Moreover essentially the only relevant systemic differences between the US and Europe in the tech sector are:

- pre-existing capital

- a better financial system and regulations (of the financial system) in the US (or rather, a combination of quality and size)

- better bankruptcy laws

Even if one of the big companies left the market that'd just leave space for a (at first) slightly worse product/products to fill the niche. Not exactly "shambles"
