what specifically would be breaking EU/Dutch law here?

firing someone without trying to improve their performance. you need to first warn the employee, and try to improve their performance.

you can check reasoning for dismissal here https://business.gov.nl/running-your-business/staff/dismissi...

None, as she was fired in the standard 1-2 month trial period
According to another comment she'd been there over 4 months, so longer than the maximum legal probation period in the Netherlands.
I only saw the short reddit video, but she states in the call that she started in December, and users the holidays as a reason for her numbers.

Misheard/didn’t pay enough attention. It’s about 4 months indeed

It's January and she said she was hired in August. How's them math skillz doin'?
I didn’t see/hear that part. I heard December. Maybe she was hired before December but wasn’t active yet

You’re right. She starts with that

She says that she was doing a 3 month "ramp" - which I can assume is the induction period. She'd only got out of the ramp and started "proper" at the beginning of December, which is what (I think) you heard
