> the American product literally won

Another part of the American mindset. Not all the companies are trying to win here in Europe. Some believe that companies can co-exist. They can serve different groups of people. Not all of them are pushing for getting more market share or jumping into different industries like Airbnb is doing now.

That's a strangely naive and idealistic view of Europe.

Companies are trying to win in Europe and competition is as fierce as anywhere. What "some" do is a moot point. You'll always find "some" people/companies behaving in a certain way wherever you go.

You keep avoiding the point.

Yes, some companies aren’t trying to “win”, but what about the companies that are trying to “win”?

It sounds like you’re implying they simply shouldn’t exist in Europe.
