I share your scepticism, but that's a political decision. Nothing protects us from bad political decisions besides participating in the democratic process.
What's happening right now is that we are sacrificing a lot for the financial benefit of corporations and for politicians' control obsession while we can't use some of the same technologies and capabilities for our own benefit.
We often have an obligation to prove our identity using a government issued ID, but we have no right to do so when we want to.

In my view, that's a bad deal.
