Didn't everybody say so?
I guess it carries more weight when one of the relatively large actors in the field openly talks about it.

Microsoft can't guarantee data sovereignty – OVHcloud says 'We told you so'
(www.theregister.com)
I feel like lots of organisations did not want to believe this, because it would've meant they need to pick a different provider to be legally compliant. If a larger actor talks about it, they will have a harder time arguing in court that they thought they were doing everything correct, which is likely to result in higher fines.
Now if only I could sign up for OVH cloud without getting flagged as a bot and blocked.
I want to give them money but their fraud check keeps making it so I can never buy any of their products.
Even their customer support can’t fix it.
Not to victim blame here, but out of curiosity: did you sign up and access their services using a normal residential IP?
Yeah, no vpn or anything.
OVH is in bed with Broadcom. Oof.
