Why does EU let Microsoft break Linux on dual-booting computers? Why let home robots sabotage enemy products in people's homes?

Every time Windows updates itself, my Linux disappears. Actually, it's just hidden, only the boot menu was overwritten. You need a computer maintenance technician to make a new boot menu. I use a USB stick with a live Linux with automatic boot repair tools.
Recently, Windows has become resistant to Boot Repair Disk. Now I have to open computer firmware by tapping "Esc" right after power-up, then select "Boot options", then "Linux".
EU must ban all US-made smart products for its own safety. All closed-source software and electronics that can be used for strategic manipulation and sabotage -- Google, Apple, Amazon, all of it.
We have functional, clunky open-source software that could easily be fitted for any purpose with the money we waste propping up foreign monopolies sabotaging us. Europe has taken a huge risk. I suspect bribery.

Win11 bricked my linux install usb. Microsoft also colluded with intel to make intel cpus appear to perform better by sandbagging AMD cpus.
Bill Gates may be a nice guy but his company has become trash.
has become trash
It was always trash and always fucked with Linux and other OS. The only solution is no Windows.
Sad thing is, the NT kernel itself is POSIX and compatible and all. But the UI on top doesn't support half of it.
Edit: it was POSIX and OS/2 compatibel, then they removed it.
The funny thing is, as far as I can tell, the only reason why NT has a posix subsystem is to comply with some weird government regulation.
From Wikipedia:
The NT POSIX subsystem was included with the first versions of Windows NT because of 1980s US federal government requirements listed in Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 151-2. Briefly, these documents required that certain types of government purchases be POSIX-compliant, so that if Windows NT had not included this subsystem, computing systems based on it would not have been eligible for some government contracts.
Come on, 2000me was good.
