I think you've misunderstood something about democracy. It is not like lawmakers can in advance inform everyone and each stakeholder who might be affected. Nor do I think they were writing this law proposal for open source in mind; quite the contrary, I think they probably missed this point of view during the drafting but are probably now aware of the issues. Perhaps the most striking issue revealed by the CRA is that open source stakeholders apparently do not have their NGOs at Brussels (or Capitol for that matter). There would be all kinds of opportunities like lobbying for funding, or fighting Big Tech if that is your game, etc.
