The same Dutch who voted on the eAIDS... ahem, sorry, eIDAS and ADDW car spyware? I'm not particularly excited about our new benevolent OS.

eIDAS is federated login between countries in EU. What is wrong with that?
It's a mechanism to legally force web browser vendors to install government issues root certificates (which they already did btw). And EU pinky-promises that not a single independent EU member won't use them to do MITM attacks on their political opposition and journalists. Like Orban 2.0 or Fico won't use Hungarian or Slovak root cert for nefarious purposes, no-no-no. It's only to protect the children, see, and definitely not to help murder journalists investigating drug smuggling cover-up. :)
I think we have pretty decent examples where browsers remove malicious root certificates if they have been so proven. Do you think the matters will be different if those belong to a country level root?

eidas is an EU thing and is like 15 years old, what is this even about
eIDAS 2.0 is 2 years old. An intentional dark pattern to confuse people.
Unlike your vague posting, which is meant to be illuminating. If you have a critique, please let us know what it is.
