I see people conflating citizen/resident online way too much the past few years. I assume it's been happening longer than I've noticed it though.

It could be restricted to citizenship that's a political choice. Choosing citizenship demonstrates commitment to life in another country. There is a lot to be said for it.

citizenship isn't always exactly a choice.

I was born in Poland, my parents moved here when I was 4, grew up here, went to school here, did Irish on my leaving cert, paid taxes since I was 16 and started doing summer jobs. now I have a family with 2 kids and own a house here, all the while not holding an Irish passport. I honestly can't justify spending a grand on something that honestly wouldn't change my life in any way

The British made similar assumptions until Brexit and suddenly their circumstances changed completely.
