The EU should step in and make sure that any critical OS attestation is taken out of the hands of the big players. Look at GrapheneOS is being denied Google Play Integrity [1] on pretty much no grounds with large consequences. Such security infrastructure is to easily abused to put bias into the market. On the other hand funding is needed to professionally run this stuff.
