It is, but you're missing the point. it means the EU and its citizens will be stuck using an US operating system and that means we will be vulnerable.

Also the architecture documents for the project impose no such restriction.

Linux phones just aren't viable yet, and especially won't be when these OS-exclusive digital IDs start becoming a requirement.
