I've been wondering just how mandatory id.me is. Out of curiosity I tried to find if there was a way to address the problem you mentioned without using id.me. Buried very deeply in the Q & A via a link called "alternative op

How can a small website cope with GDPR compliance though? The rules that sprang up to constrain the social-media behemoths seem onerous for anyone but them to comply with.

I guess the takeaway here is that it might be better to de-google-ize yourself on your own initiative than to deal with having it done to you unexpectedly.
