It would force the inclusion of a “trusted root” into browsers & OSs with the purpose of allowing government entities to spoof certificates. As certificate pinning is becoming mainstream, I would assume it’ll require browser & app vendors to weaken those controls too.

No… That’s spyware with less steps… Theres no cracking, hacking, Trojans etc. involved at all, it’s a direct and straightforward addition of the spyware under color of the states authority.
But it’s not spyware. The eIDAS law proposes that governments can insert certificates that spoof the originator. A subtle difference.
I really hope Mozilla don’t comply
