It’s worth remembering that the status-quo is itself expensive.

GOV.UK Verify, the example I know best, burned through a lot of money trying to do digital identity without actually doing ID cards.





The status quo isn't an application. "Digital ID" is a misnomer, it's a government backed application akin to what you'd see in an authoritarian crony state (China, Vietnam, etc). Unbelievable that a western country is signing off on this.
