Those servers constitute a "legal presence" in those jurisdictions.
The WMF's investment in those servers is at risk in the event of an

jurisdiction from which one of those jurisdictions will grant
execution of an adverse judgment. I don't know enough about EU law
and the enforceability of foreign judgments within the EU to know
whether a UK judgment could be enforced in France in such a situation.
