It wasn't seen as a priority national security measure before.

Now we have a US leader who may wake up tomorrow and put 100% tariffs on cloud services to EU corps or have the NSA demand chat logs.

The security issue is real and the main motivation behind decoupling from US cloud services.

Export tarrifs aren't really a thing, particularly for software. Making US cloud more expensive would only make transitioning away from them faster.
