The EU has a fundamentally different viewpoint on data privacy to the USA. And they are entitled to it. The EU has roughly as many citizens as the USA under a single governance; why should they not collectively argue?
Many Europeans do, also, think the USA is mad on other issues and are unwilling to see a situation where the USA's chosen solutions to things are the de facto solutions. They see data privacy as one of the last opportunities to resist that.
(Alas here in the UK we decided we didn't want to be part of that solidarity, and we are apparently desperate to capitulate.)
As a side note, why is it only ever non-American states that are said to "prop up" their own businesses? It's a two-way street.
