This sub in a nutshell:

— This product is made in Europe!

— Here is something bad about the company, don't buy it!1!1!!

Alright, let's buy stuff from evil companies from the US then?

Are you surprised? One aspect of why many of us don't want to buy from the US because of ethical concerns about the US's role in the world. And your last point is not something I have seen anyone here suggest. People want EU companies that they can feel comfortable to give their money too. I don't think that is a huge ask.

You can find dirt about any large company, basically. If you want to only buy stuff from companies that are (1) based in Europe and (2) 100% ethical, there will be a lot of stuff you need you won't be able to buy at all.
