I think the thing so many people miss when overlooking the importance of digital self-reliance (or sovereignty, if you need to use weird language with nationalist tendencies so bad) is that corporations can just be bought. Especially the publicly traded ones; there's nothing stopping someone with enough money from just purchasing 51% of the stock.
And if the AI bubble popping somehow takes down Microsoft's value, the American company so many people and countries love depending on, could as well be Russian the nezt day, or even whatever the hell would be worse
