This is the first mover. Next wave will be SaaS companies (Email e.g.) guaranteeing data stays in the EU. At the end of January no EU company can transfer email addresses, IP addresses or HR data into the US. Only if there is a Safe Harbor II coming where the US guarantees to not spy on data without warrant/open procedure and legal recourse by EU citizens.
PS: I know this EUGH ruling does not make sense with UK and France having the same intransparent all-people are spyed on. But this are the rules now.

That guarantee would be completely unbelievable at this point.

The EUGH ruling makes perfect sense, it's just a partial solution instead of a complete one.
Given the US is believed to be the most powerful of the bad actors (i.e., they NSA have the most backdoors and other capabilities) removing them from the system is not an insignificant step. Shutting out UK and France as bad actors will be more complicated.
From my point of view it's exactly not a partial solution, with the UK (and perhaps Germany) sharing data with the US if I e.g. use an UK SaaS email provider. It doesn't make any difference to EU citizens.
It's a partial solution, not in the sense that it improves anything by itself, but in the sense that combined with getting other countries to stop sharing data with the US, it would prevent Europeans from being spied on by the US.
