Counterpoint : if Trump “flipped the switch”, the EU member countries would nationalise the intellectual property and EU-based companies involved.
All of the software companies involved have large branches and developers based in the EU, and things would largely continue as they were. IT departments wouldn’t sleep for a month, admittedly, but they’d survive.
In Microsoft’s case, it would probably improve the quality of the release process and “EU Windows 10 without Co-Pilot” would probably prove to be a huge international sales success.
