Sadly Marty, most jurisdictions already have some form of digital identity legislation. And governments will want to control who is identified (e. G. As a Canadian or German or whatever).
In my country the digital id legislation passed but hasn't really commenced yet.
I also heard in Switzerland cantons actually voted against it, but it was still shoved through.
First policy is developed by global bodies, then legislation is passed, and 2-3 years later when all supporting framework is in place then it goes public.
