That is true and an important aspect.

It still does not explain the cognitive dissonance of the EUPL.

1. Source Merging or Statically Linking

Since the EU recognizes that these form derivative works the compatibility provisions in the EUPL are useless. At least as long as they are not interpreted as re-licensing.

2. Dynamically linking or IPC or network requests

If the EU is serious that dynamically linking is not derivative the compatibility provisions in EUPL are not necessary.
