The trouble is: if only one European country green-lights these systems, they can kill people drive anywhere within the Schengen area. You'll have then on the roads, even outside NL.

To be fair, I don't trust European companies with it either. As the saying goes: "Where there's a trough, there will be pigs." Want to keep your data safe? Keep it.
WDYM by "browsing through"? As in, you get different search results? Or a different start page with suggested videos?
Maybe I'm weird, but I never use that. Either I have a specific need (an instruction video, a specific song or video episode). Then I use the search. Or I want to see what's new. Then I check the channels of creators I like.
If you use the platform like that (which is basically like Lemmy), it's a lot harder to algorithmically lock you in. (I only use third-party clients like FreeTube and Newpipe though, which block most types of tracking and don't require a Google account).
But not everyone is able to (for lack of awareness to alternatives, technical skills, software constraints, work requirements, vendor lock-in, ...). Are those people unworthy of being protected from an evil company's wrongdoing just because they're using the "wrong" OS?
You're basically arguing that corporations can do whatever they please "on their own turf". That's not true as far as user rights, consumer protection and anti-trust laws are concerned. And it shouldn't be.
I doubt he will. If you wandered that deep into crazyland, chances are you belong there. I suspect he still wants crazyland - just a different brand from what the clown-in-chief is creating. That's fine by me if it creates a civil war among the crazies.
I'm torn on this one. Yes, it's a bad look, particularly on the side of the Atlantic where words still have meaning. But Rutte isn't stupid. He knows Europe still needs the Americans for a while until it's finished scaling up its military capabilities, and Ukraine still needs their weapons and the Russia sanctions in place. So he might be playing the game of telling the demented grandpa "yes, you're right", just so he won't throw a fit - and then wink to the other family members and do the right thing regardless.
"Corruption" is the word you were looking for.
