On every EU-related article there's always someone commenting about how we "fall behind"... but what did we actually lose out on due to regulation?
Most US-originated tech we widely use today (operating systems, hardware) is US-originated because they were the first to come up with it may decades ago (before EU regulation was a "problem") and it doesn't make sense to reinvent the wheel, and are now using their monopoly power and network effects to prevent new players entering the market (Apple with iMessage for example).
I don't see new tech we missed out on in the last decade because of regulation, so could you please elaborate with some examples?
