French or American cruise missiles still create dependence

Could French cruise missiles remove the Royal Navy's reliance on American Tomahawks?

They would replace one foreign technology source with another, although British technical capacity gives the Royal Navy unusual freedom to maintain and support imported weapons itself.

Buying a French cruise missile would exchange American dependence for French dependence instead of eliminating it. Every foreign system arrives with conditions and support relationships. Britain is better placed than many customers because it can perform much of its own missile maintenance and work around supplier restrictions, but the original source still matters.
