If the US can't be relied on as a military ally, then why should US clouds or the software it exports be trustworthy? Couldn't the US government also kill all Windows workstations, iPhones or AWS servers? Of course they could. Smaller companies or individuals may not care, but governments or bigger companies that are risk averse? Of course they'll care.

A lot of people are now very aware of that risk.
