So, to put it blundly, not only should the server be outside of the USA but also the company who runs it? Makes sense to me.
This isn't new. European companies and governments have been avoiding US cloud providers ever since the CLOUD Act was introduced seven years ago.
For more information on the subject, Microsoft has been fighting this battle, largely unsuccessfully, for years.

It's also why they had Azure Germany - an instance where they were not actually in control and data could remain sovereign. I believe it's now defunct, or at least restricted.
Sadly they dont. At least not nearly to the extend that they should be.
Makes sense to me.
I can't make sense of what you wrote.
One negation too many! Edited, hope it makes more sense now.
Ah, you mean for Canada data sovereignty.
It still does not make sense. Canada could change the law. Other companies abide by local law.
