I guess I'm not grokking why you think this kind of regulation would have no legal basis when regulators are proposing something very similar in eIDAS article 45 (all web browsers must accept CAs which we the regulators approve) and in NIS2 for root server operators with more than 10 instances. The concept of Trusted Service Providers in EU regulations already exists and is already quite powerful.

Thanks for your thoughts,
David
