Yeah, this 100%. There's a genuine fear of government overreach/control here in the UK, and references to works like 1984 abound. That's not really a partisan thing either, you'd probably get very few people openly support the ID of a government ID card/ID system in general. Maybe it's a trust thing. Countries where the government has made many of the right decisions and where people trust them (like Nordic and some other European countries) seem to be okay with the national ID thing, whereas companies where people fear (maybe rightly) the government screwing them over (like the UK and US) do not.
