Well, we could say it's not organization, but cooperation too. I understand what you mean, but it's just semantics. Whatever indeed.

I still uphold that EU is not global power because it is not a state. While organizations get more and more role in international politics (heck, even individual people, like Musk or even Greter has some role these days), states still are the main actors, and organizations play important part because states recognized their use.
But, I can go to the next level of steps and examine why EU does not turn into a sovereign state. There are several factors. One is that the US holds each member state on a leash by other means (such as NATO). Another is that the large economical factors has no real interest in it; they already think globally, and look at and play on the global market. Borders, states don't mean shit to them, beyond things that prevent free trade. Since they have that already in EU - unless they want to push for the privatization of all the sectors - for them it matters little if people vote for over 100 individual parliaments or just one.
> nobody thinks EU as a possible challenger,
The US is enough to think that. The US fears that. This is why they reinforce NATO now, this is why they need Russia as the boogeyman. Mr. Smith in this video reflects this mindset well (he talks about the Ukraine war ofc, but this is what I have at hand).

> Norway, Switzerland
> not members and it's beneficial for them
They have to keep every EU regulations. They have to enact laws that follow those regulations. They have the same stunted sovereignty as any other EU member, except they don't have the right to vote in the question of those regulations.
> Norway [...] keeps their oil money for themselves
I'm not sure how that really works. Their state owns about 2/3 of the largest company that operates in Norway, but they are not the only one there.
