Yes, their marketshare overall is lower however in certain very large EU countries their market share is very high and their practices shouldn't escape scrutiny as this type of law also applies to smaller players. I suppose it's an issue of allocation of resources for the regulators. Smaller has less impact. The individual country regulators can also address this.

And which EU countries are those? I know a few in the 60s% market share range but that would hardly be considered “very high”.

How is being the market leader by a wide margin anything else than "very high market share"?
Market share is market share, it's a percentage of the total market. Low 60s % at best in a few countries isn't very high.
When there's only two competitors and the margin is only 20% in some subset of the population, that's not "very high market share." EU-wide, Android is >70%.
