At least in many EU countries, they are adapting. I'm a fairly happy user of Irish myGovID (OIDC) and ROS (X509 "sign this message with your private key" challenge), and Polish Profil Zaufany (I think OIDC or CAS?).
The issues I see are:
- Each country has its own system, some documented, some not so much, some use OIDC, some SAML, some something more obscure.
- As an individual who moved countries, you end up with multiple accounts.
- As a developer you cannot easily register your own OIDC app. Send an email to some ministry and hope for the best. If you aren't part of government yourself, you may be out of luck.
