  have a principled objection to a service financed by public money forcing people to install and execute proprietary non-free software on their own hardware

  You are on spot there, but sadly even legislators are far from understanding the reasons why this matters so much, let alone the general public.

  Whatever security policy they have, it shouldn’t require you installing a random executable to your system. And it was flawed enough that it didn’t care to give your device access.

  And by the way, it’s so awesome you carry an ethernet cable around!!
