I don't know why people complain much about it. In UK especially. For example all EU citizens, after Brexit been "marked", with sort of digital ID.
1. You cannot open bank account without presenting share code from gov.uk, which shows your photo and right to stay and work when generated.
2. You cannot rent without presenting same share code.
3. You cannot go on cruise ship without presenting that.
4. Employers cannot hire you without presenting that code.
Codes are temporary, you login, generate and share that.
It's very much digital ID that's been in place for many years by now. So getting it to everyone makes sense, either "mark" everyone in a country or "mark" no one. And EU citizens been "marked" for a while and tested on with that system.
