"because we've spent a lot of time and money getting it to work"

It is, of course, perfectly possible that this statement is entirely true. Specifically, we don't know how many times the high-precision parts of the US system fell over in their early stages, because we didn't have access to them. But it is only clocks and maths, so I expect Europe will get there eventually, just like the US did.
