That’s a known thing though. Sovereign tech is more about the software then hardware.

Microsoft admits that if it receives a data request from the US government for data stored in a European Azure region owned by a European company with no US presence they will have to comply. Intel, AMD, Seagate, NetApp don’t have that problem.
