Europe doesn't have "tech giants" because we tend to dislike monopolies, both culturally and legally. Take T-Systems (DE) and TI Sparkle (IT), who will happily cooperate on a project, but not yield a centimetre when competing, and sure as heck refuse any attempt at a merger (as would their respective governments). In the end, things like Linux & Mastodon are our equivalent of a "tech giant" (also fun to look back at the "Java Anon Project" -- sort of TOR, but in 2001).
