This is already more or less the norm for many services, because of the GDPR and the ePrivacy directive, especially if you’re handling special personal data categories, and/or the service is for a government entity. There’s some caveats to this, but on a general level that’s already how things are.
But as was pointed out, the problem isn’t getting folks to host things in the EU since it’s not like only European companies have data centers in the EU, but to use European cloud providers. Vendor lock-in is a real issue, however; no European provider can give you what AWS or GCP can, and migrating to something else might require a lot of work depending on which services you’ve been using.
