I think it is because the EU listened to the people. This is what you get when elected representatives are not bankrolled by big business, and are allowed to enact legislation that doesn't only benefit one side.
The car lobby in the eu: Am I a joke to you?
yet cars in the EU still have higher standards, so where does that leave us?
The EU has politicians that manage to legislate against the interests of gigantic tech corporations because European tech corporations are far smaller, and thus have much less leverage. Even if the US political system was significantly less corrupt, they'd probably still have issues to legislate against them.
