Unfortunately still many people working in tec jobs do not understand that putting an ID on an official governmental document that you need to carry is effectively the same like a tattoo with a number on your arm.
Despite Germans have made bad experiences with that, the idea survived the 3rd Reich.
The idea that as a human being you need "governmental documents" to identify is an authoritarian core value that is fundamentally against individual freedom.
Jews were forced to always carry their "Kennkarte" with them.
Please do not tell me about positive use cases that are based on the naive idea that "the government is the good guys".
When electronic IDs are not rolled back everywhere then democracy and individual freedom will be lost for a very long time.
