The US is going to pressure the EU into loosening regulations for US based tech companies which will result in a return to some, and the advancement of other anti-consumer practices.

The US might, but I don't see the EU giving up on them without major trade concessions.

the EU is pretty self-sufficient, how would they even do that? threaten to leave NATO?

There are various trade agreements and partnerships between the EU and US, some of which are more beneficial to one or the other. It's very common for countries to do this kind of thing to each other, but it's usually a quid pro quo situation.
