Glidance steps down from initially launching Glide in the EU

As 3 September, the date of the first virtual Glide demo day after the "summer break" was approaching fast, yesterday I took a quick look on glidance.io website, and especially the faq section to check whether there was anything noteworthy. And yes there is, but notgood news. All the references to the EU were deleted from all faq entries that were about territories where Glide was planned to launch initially.
As I am Hungarian, and Hungary is an EU member state, this affects me, although not financially as I quickly opted out from the founding Gliders' deposit program back in summer 2024 (what a specially strong foresight I happened to have!). Here I inform everyone affected (though I suppose there are very few of them here) about this move with this post.
This means that EU will share the status with the rest of the world beyond US, Canada and the UK regarding Glide launch, so Glidance will announce if and when Glide launches there. Somewhen ... Doing a quick calculation it certainly won't happen before 2027. So Glide launch will embark on sort-of-a Godot-style journey for the EU too, as for the rest of the world also. It just takes a little bit of familiarity with post World war II literature to understand my Godot reference, as Beckett's play is absolutely world famous.
Frankly I anticipated this move in late spring already, because there were some signs of it. The most prominent was that all planned in-person demo days in the EU were cancelled by then. Such demo days were planned for one of Paris, Madrid or Rome, but none of them actually took place.
I suspect and understand the probable reasons. EU is a very diverse territory of 28 countries, from Portugal in the South-West of Europe up to the Baltic states in the North-East. Dozens of languages are spoken there which would have brought about a very heavy localisation workload, way too much for the small team at Glidance. Furthermore there are significant legal challenges too: WAT issues need to be looked after, CE certification is not easy and straightforward at all, and the strict EU regulations on artificial intelligence products may be in play too. Glidance most probably recognised that tackling all this would be way too ambitious for them, and if they had had forced initial launch in the EU, that would have delayed producing and shipping the first 500 units for the founding Gliders indefinitely, which seems to be the most urgent aim at Glidance nowadays.
It's a pity though that Glide also joined the bigger and bigger list of tech that are (potentially or initially) only available for the English speaking "big player" countries. Back in 2024 It was very sympathetic to me about Glide at first sight that it had been planned to be launched also in the EU in the first round. Hadn't Glidance had such a small-scale workforce, that could have been realistic eventually.
