Web2 is also stupid as at the end of the day your identity is just whatever some call center rep is willing to believe, and you can be locked out of your account to the point where you can no longer even prove who you are for any reason at any time. This is an alternative, and it comes with different tradeoffs. I see you don't like the tradeoffs, and would rather trust companies like Apple, Facebook, and Google because you apparently don't trust yourself with your own key. I think that is simultaneously sad and naive, but "you do you", I guess? That doesn't mean none of this is useful, because not everyone is in a position to trust random US companies.
