I’m assuming that’s no an issue by kitniyos CMIIW

ETA I see that חק יעקב klers otherwise, so that would explain it. But there are חולקים.

For pesach the poskim are indeed machmir on the Rashba, plus it can be more than just the Rashba.

The Mg'A brings the Rashba in 242. At a shiur this past shabbos the Rav said over that the achronim point out to be machmir on the Rashba for pesach, even if one is lenient like the Noda B'Yehuda for other issurin.

Btw why do you assume that kitniyos can be בטל ברוב and not בטל בס׳?
Sorry, its clearly in the Rema.

M"B סק"ו seems to indicate like that תירוץ of the חק יעקב .... Hence the חומרא
