And the rest of the population will be effectively bullied into also using it because companies/service-providers make using alternative methods much harder to use, because they are more expensive.

It's unfortunately predictable how this will play out.

Aadhaar from India is an example. Even by the law you must be able to live without it, it is not practice in case and banks and telecoms demand it.

And when you lost your phone say bye to your life.
