> That doesn't make sense, all IDs are already in a single government database. Kind of by definition in fact, for IDs to be useful they need to be emitted by a central authority with associated security and revokability guarantees.

Yes and those databases are decently protected. However for an "app" someone will do a web 4.0 or 6.0 bridge to access these databases. Maybe even vibe code it. That's what I'm worried about.
