Social Security is, more or less, tied to residency for EU-citizen across the board anyway. France has a long standing tradition of granting citizenship for service to state, nation or society (he right of spilled blood, bad translation).
And I think we highly over estimate the value of citizenships, after all they can be literally bought in some places.

Indeed, and that should not be diluted by lowering the bar to "has been showing up for work for two years", which is pretty much as low as can be and, frankly, an insult to those who got it by spilled blood or outstanding service.
I'm not against this program but, since it is done in relation to the pandemic, it should have been restricted to those who did exceptional things to help during that time , garbage collectors clearly haven't even if their role is essential.
