There's been a good alternative the whole time. It's called not requiring a "digital identity."
Anonymity and pseudo-Anonymity on the web has worked, and would continue to work. We don't need device attestation that you are running a specific OS, from a specific vendor, with specific apps (or not) to interact with the digital world. People have been interacting with digital services from a computer web browser without that tech since the 90s.
If a digital identity is a must (and I don't think it is), it should at minimum not be tied to a proprietary, locked down OS on proprietary hardware that you don't own or control. I'd rather my "legal digital identity" be a public/private key pair that I control, not tied to any specific device.
