It’s hard to overstate the importance of world governments realizing, and speaking publicly, on the danger of housing their confidential data solely with unregulated American providers.
As an American myself, I love to see it. If this outrage translates to changes in fundamental business practices, it could mean Americans getting better regulation of Big Tech by sheer necessity.

It’s very unlikely there will be any meaningful form of tech regulation in the US without significant societal change.

Could be, but regulation will come more readily if the bottom line of Big Tech is affected by international divestment. They don’t give a shit about customers, but they do give a shit if they lose a few billion as countries opt to go in-house.
