It's a geopolitical reality. Not liking the 'us against them' mentality is fair enough, I agree with that, but we can't be blind to what's happening around us.

Also, I do think that there's benefit to opting for EU products, as they are generally more 'consumer-rights' friendly than the US alternatives.

Most of the articles I read about this is about showing that going all-European is possible at all. If that feels like it’s an us vs. them thing, I’m not sure how I could change your mind.
