Specifically in Europe the attitude to progress tends towards “this is new, therefore we must first ensure it does not do any harm - let’s stop it before it is too late”. The consequence is as a startup you better think about getting permission and ensure everyone is ok with the new approach on things. If it fails the response is generally on the lines “see, told you so!” - and the founders and inventors will be marked forever as the “guys who failed”, putting themselves and their employees at risk. in the US the assumption is “this is new, new means progress, therefore let’s give this a chance and get behind it - let’s see if this improves our lives and if it does let’s use more of it”. As a result people just try stuff without much fear from repurcussions. If it fails the response is on the lines of “good you tried, go find your next thing!” - and the founders and inventors are seen as pioneers who chartered new territory and discovered a small patch that now has a “danger” flag flying to everyone’s benefit
