I think it was actually available to legions of Dutch-issued DC holders because several years ago there were definitely more diplomatic card holders using Privium than just US holders of such.
EEA country passport users — whether from an EU country or not — were also eligible for Privium.
I haven’t paid much attention to Privium eligibility for at least the last several years.
I prefer to get my entertainment by dealing with the potential passport control clown show at AMS to see how it goes, especially since I don’t have much uses for the AMS lounges if I can help it.
In the past US citizens could indeed become a member of Privium if they where a Global Entry member. That was when FLUX-alliance was still a thing, FLUX was discontinued on 1 January 2017 because of RPT-NL that is coming eeeuh...*cough* soon.
Nowadays it's just EEA passport/ID card holders.
