13 days before the first eIDAS vote, still no public text

This is quite an absurd summary, both legally and technically simply nonsense.

And eidas is about digital identity management, this critiqued part is just s tiny part of it, not a main feature, so this is not "what eidas is about".

Valid criticism. I removed the snipped "what eIDAS is about" from my comment. I think the criticism raised is not (solely) against digital identity, but about possible security risks associated with it.

Thank you. I think the criticism is really just about the certificate requirement. I just don't see what other part of eidas could be considered to MitM anyone. But of course only the author would know for sure what they meant.

That is indeed why they keep referring to Article 45 - the specific article of concern. If that was removed, presumably this new version of eIDAS would be fine. (And an existing version has already been in effect for a while, if I understand correctly.)
