I thought the same but eventually I recognized the sound of the government wheelworks of bureaucracy. The article simply explains a single thing elaborately.

Perhaps because EU just passed a law for third party app stores?

Because European governments are passing/have passed regulations forcing big tech companies to open up their platforms.

Unless I've missed a very recent change, F-Droid isn't geographically restricted.
Much of the blog post focuses on the DMA and its impact on Europe. I think the phrase you keyed in on, and really the bulk of the post, is just a marketing push for the European market and a bit of SEO trying to get keywords and phrases in there.

It is marketing, yes. But it’s also announcing a brand new ecosystem that doesn’t exist yet so I’m not too surprised they don’t have in depth implementation details right now.
Marketing isn’t automatically evil. If you’re starting an open source project you want people to contribute to you’re going to want to market it.
