@carlrichell give one final argument: You can very easily write monolithic programs that will do everything they are trying to avoid, without being classified as an OS. And, in fact, those monolithic programs would be harder to regulate because at that point, they simply become programs without any real defining characteristics to isolate them by the language beiung used.

@carlrichell Wasn't it just a yearish ago that these same types of lawmakers were trying to pass a built to make using C and C++ illegal for government contracts because they aren't threadsafe? Ask them how this bill is at all in line with their previous attempts at safety. Because this bill would give more utility towards those monolithic programs, thus making them more attractive to use. And monolithic programs are not safe beyond being threadsafe.
