There are various takes on that, which of course depend on values each person (and country) considers as the most important.
In my personal opinion, Europe (in which I live) as an "Amish bias" [1], i.e. by default being more cautious about introducing new technologies. I am already annoyed by the constant cookie pop-ups that significantly affect my browsing experience but on mobile.
Yes, there are risks with all technologies. But with the current mindset, Europe is setting itself way back comparing to the USA... which is much more cautious than China. Or in other words, Europe sets itself to be the World's calm countryside, in which people live as they used to.
Some (maybe even the majority) may like it. Personally, I am asking myself from time to time - when it is time to move to Asia.
