What you write is true, but generally the support and use of electronic identification in Germany is very poor, partially a result of complex and (at times) overly restrictive legislation. Especially compared to the Nordic countries where people use some sort of eID for practically everything. I have no stats on hand for this, but my work is in developing integrations towards major eID providers in Europe.

I've had an Estonian e-Residency card. I had to pick it up at an Estonian police station and show my official government ID. I don't see why a German university demanding the same for a comparable cryptographic certificate is bad.

  It's not a "a comparable cryptographic certificate" It's just a plaintext password

    The student id card has a comparable certificate on it, as far as I understand it.
