When scoped to attest the full software stack down to the kernel, yes, because it takes control away from the general purpose computing device that the user supposedly owns. I don't however have a problem with attestation scoped to dedicated hardware security devices such as Yubi Keys.

And if such dedicated hardware is ever required by the law, the manufacturer should be prohibited from bundling any business-related functionality there (such as displaying ads) that can't be turned off without breaking the certification.

Google's ad business model should never be mandated by law, unfortunately lawmakers seem to be unaware that this is what requiring Play Integrity effectively means.

Yes, and remote attestation should be illegal on any general purpose computing device, for some reasonable definition of what that is. General purpose computing should be a human right, in particular the right to change the software running on devices that you own.
