If they ignore the EU, the EU actually gets a chance to home grow a competitor that can then challenge them internationally once it's had time to grow. Google would probably happily lose money to the EU every year to stop a native English baidu or yandex from being built.

That keeps being paraded around but is extremely unlikely. It would have happened by now
