This is strange, because your link is about Kant disagreeing with other philosophers on the nature of Euclid’s parallel postulate. I took your claim to be that because Kant was seemingly only aware of Euclidean geometry, he used properties specific to only Euclidean geometry in his discussion of geometry.
Show me explicitly where this “operating in the background” is, and I’d be more convinced.
Hmm, ok. Rereading the link and thinking about this more, it looks like I’m either strongly misremembering what it said or am just hopelessly confused. I’ll need to think about this more.

Thinking about this less and something else more is also a good option.
