That's not sovereignty, that's redundancy.

Sovereignty is just where stuff is, not how many place it is there.

You are talking about the dictionary definition of the words.

But this is supposed to be about practical.

What's the purpose of ticking a box about housing data in UK when you can't make it available after a single incident.

You are confusing people with your loose application of the word. Are you advocating for redundancy (e.g multi-cloud) or physical sovereignty (e.g self-hosted)?

You can have data in Slough and Manchester and retain data and compute sovereignty. If you don't like Equinix, Ark will offer Bristol and London. There's options in Scotland if that's not far enough away.
