+1 to this.
If you don't want or can't self-host, I can recommend Posteo for E-Mail, Calendar, Contacts and Filen.io for Cloud-Storage.
LibreOffice, Odoo, Mastodon, Nextcloud and more. Lots of Linux distros and desktops are based in Europe.
There is a lot of FOSS done in Europe and EU is very proactive with it. CERN is really helping open hardware and KiCAD.
My friend uses zoner.cz for editing photos. The license is like 50€ and at least for us (we use it for editing photos for children group) they don't care about password sharing.

You can however still buy a perpetual license for a one time fee.
