I think you have it a bit turned around. If I have a right under my country's laws based on my citizenship, my right doesn't cease to exist because I leave the country. For example, I continue to have 5th Amendment rights outside of the United States. Reid v. Covert, 354 U.S. 1 (1957). I haven't read the decision that requires Apple to open up its devices to third party stores, but if that decision is somehow premised on rights conferred by EU citizenship, then the passage you quote would be valid.

that decision is about military tribunals that will judge acts of us citizens committed at other territories but under US law. If you are in another country and is being prosecuted under that country laws the 5th amendment not only not apply but it (or a similar law) might not even exist.

Criminal rights are a different thing. There are tons of commercial rights EU citizens have which don't apply if you are an EU citizen living in US - for example warranty rights.
