From the cached site (it seems to have been taken down since the news broke) it seems that this dataset was more used for marketing: https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:http%3A%2F%2Fwww.novaestrat.com%2F https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:http%3... You are right about providing a more proper digital authentication solution for citizens, and at least one country has this[0], but in this case it just seems that the data was being kept/exploited for no better reason than marketing and that the company should not have had access to it from the start.
