Because we (the EU citizens) need some internet and software sovereignty. It's a valid desire. Most of the governments run on software owned by companies that can be under control of foreign nations.

A certain level of independence is good for any nation, group, society.

Besides from that EU law provides us with some guarantees regarding privacy. If a company doesn't respect our privacy, we have the means to defend ourselves.
