If the entire point of verification is verifying one's identity, I do not see why requiring a photograph and government identification is a problem. That's the only reasonable way of proving someone's identity.
The question of whether the use of "Israeli software" (whatever it is specifically; too broad to make any useful comment) is appropriate is up for debate, but the fundamental act of verifying identity based off government identification is reasonable.
Besides, if you don't like it you don't have to get verified nor use the service for that matter.

It’s a problem for services which have little need for that kind of (intermediate level) verification, because it increases the threat surface for identity theft that can be used againt the kind of services that actually do need it. It’s also, on the other hand, a problem for services which need actually need strong identity verification, because while government IDs do generally have security features, they are generally not secure for use via a photograph.
