I expect that EU citizens who are also US citizens won't be able to apply for an ETIAS authorization just as US citizens can't apply for an ESTA to come to the US.

I don't think this is correct. If you don't have authorization under ETIAS with your US passport or an EU passport in your reservation I'd expect that an airline will not let you on a plane to the EU. Some airlines may not enforce this via their automated systems, but some absolutely will (LH I'm looking at you!)

Not doing so may only be an issue when leaving the US on a US passport if they are checking validity.
Just like ESTA is "just registering online." But you can bet that airlines will be checking validity. They d
n't want to pay fined or send passengers back.
