> The insane question here is, why would the EU mandate hardware attestation controlled by two private American companies in order to access services?

Please (kindly) ask Paolo De Rosa [1], Policy Officer at the European Commission and driver of many of the decisions behind the wallet and the ARF. His position is one of fatalism: that it's "too late"; the duopoly of Goople is entrenched, and it's therefore not a problem if the wallet project entrenches it even further. Regrettably quite a lot of member states agree, although representatives of France and Germany specifically are frequently standing up to the fatalism.

That's so dumb... Europe did it with Airbus and they did it with GNSS. Come on Europe, make a smartphone! The hardware's only getting cheaper.
