It might just be expensive... Some other countries might just not need those when they are struggling to get fresh water... And so on, but that's just my 2 cents.
Europe is not a country.

Your Top 500 link says something completely different: "The 65th edition of the TOP500 showed that the El Capitan system retains the No. 1 position. With El Capitan, Frontier, and Aurora, there are now 3 Exascale systems leading the TOP500. All three are installed at Department of Energy (DOE) laboratories in the United States." HPC6 is listed below those, and far less powerful.
In Europe, HPC6 was the fastest before Jupiter. It was No.4 last year and 6th now that JUPITER is taken 4th place.

Edit: I found the full quote in the website of the Jülich Development Center and I guess it makes sense why it was editorialized for the eu-wide website.
“This is a historic milestone. With JUPITER, Europe is reaching the highest level of high-performance computing. JUPITER is also a testimony for Germany's long leadership in HPC. Today, it became the home of the most powerful computer in Europe and the fourth most powerful in the world. From European perspective, JUPITER is a pioneer. It shows that when we combine national vision with European cooperation, we can achieve global excellence.”

#46Honest question: what will likely be done with a computer like this?

#48How do the gpu training clusters rank against the traditional “largest supercomputer” metric? Or is that comparing apples to oranges? I think by some measures XAi already has the largest (200k H100 equivalent) and already constructing the 1 million gpu cluster.
