The much bigger issue is that it's the first time when you're required by law to install government software on your devices. It's breaching your private space and it's immoral and wrong. Private spaces, including digital, should be protected from government by constitutional law.

If it were only that. We could sandbox it, deny it permissions it doesn't need, or inspect what it does. All fine and dandy.

No, it's the first time a democratic government requires you to carry a 5G video recorder that you can't turn off short of smashing it to pieces if the manufacturer is ordered to make it so. But then you can't do half the things a normal person can do so you won't smash it to pieces if you don't have evidence it's currently acting as a bug.

The EU software tries to detect when you put it in a sandbox or when you merely try to inspect what it's doing. Attach a debugger and it'll refuse to verify your age to social media so you can't use that anymore. Install an open source OS on your phone and you can't so much as legally obtain your own government's software in the first place.
