Perhaps you could suggest a rewording that you think says the above? I don’t see a political view being implied nor do I see the needs of US users being prioritized over the needs of non-US users.
Just for perspective, I didn't read that section as prioritising US users or authors in any way. It does reflect the reality that PyPI is hosted in the US, but I think it's both fair and necessary to point that out and explain the implications. It may be that the comment "If someone for whom the issue of data sovereignty matters to them wishes to put forth the effort..." reflects a little too much your frustration with not being able to get anywhere with a solution to this issue. Maybe rephrase that as something along the lines of "The data sovereignty issue will need to be addressed by someone with an understanding of the restrictions and constraints involved. As the author of this PEP does not have that expertise, it should be addressed in a separate PEP"? Paul
