Yes. The PII of all citizens of EU countries isn't leaked out there ( there have been country-wide breaches like in Bulgaria, but it's the exception), and when leaks do happen, people learn about them quickly and the companies get fined if they were at fault/handled it badly.

Oh, and EU PII is drastically less useful. Most countries in the EU have national ID systems, which are used and required for anything important ( like a new bank account or loan). A bad actor could still use PII for social engineering though.
