It’s WAY more complicated than that.

Where is the HQ of the company?

Where does the company operate?

What country is the individual user in?

What country do the servers and data reside in?

Ditto for service vendors who also deal with user data.

Even within the EU, this is a mess and companies would rather use a simple heuristic like put all servers and store all data for EU users in the most restrictive country (I’ve heard Germany).
