So, basically: it isn't there yet because it isn't necessary yet.
...as suspicious as I am of Bluesky, the title of the article is kind of misleading.
Also in the article: " Regnier said the commission, the EU’s executive arm, had written to the 27 national governments to see “if they can find any trace of Bluesky” such as identifying a EU-based office. It has not yet contacted the company directly, he added. "
Like this is so nonsensical. Talking to press about a company having broken a rule even though they are not under your jurisdiction, but you haven't bothered to contact yet, is just wild.
If they reached out and said "Hey, before you reach these metrics you need to fulfill these requirements" and bluesky told them to pound sand, that'd be good to know.
But "Company who doesn't have to follow a rule is not following the rule, and we'd like them to, but haven't told them we'd like them to" is not news.
It doesn't matter if BlueSky has or hasn't EU offices, if EU citizens are allowed to use their service, then they have to abide by GDPR, DSA and other EU regulations.
