True, in the US consumer rights are largely a joke, but on the same token doing business in the EU seems to be a huge regulatory mess for corporations both abroad and internal and it's quite hard to imagine any company in the EU reaching the heights of Microsoft or Apple, or even seeing more adventurous and risky endeavors like Tesla.
