Same goes for the second paragraph.

By law Poland requires its dual Polish citizens to use Polish passport only because they are treated solely as if they were just Polish citizen when in in the territory of Poland. Passport is not even required on entry if they prove they are Polish citizen but it is required during border EXIT control.

Similar to U.S. laws that require U.S. citizens to enter and exit on a valid U.S. passport , Poland also requires Polish citizens (including dual U.S. citizens or those with claims to Polish citizenship) to enter and depart Poland using a Polish passport.

This warning is on the official Polish government website in Polish.

ETIAS requirements on dual EU citizens (not law yet):

ETIAS does not apply to EU citizens. Consequently, third country nationals having multiple
nationalities, including the nationality of an EU Member State must use the passport issued by an
EU Member State for entering the Schengen area.
