AFAIK the Cloud Act has not been revoked yet? So case is closed.

Exactly.

As soon as there is a US company involved, even via "independent" European subsidiaries, that company can be obliged to grant access to the data.

This is not sovereign, but only useless smokes and mirrors.

Exactly. As long as there is an american company involved you should avoid it!

Go at least one layer deeper. Even if all US tech were properly given the boot, the US would find/buy European bootlickers to create a compromised European owned and operated company. Europe's IT infra will need to be hardened architecturally.
