No, I mean if you associate adresses to some sort of ID, you create new metadata and a whole source of data for clustering adresses. In some, if not most cases, those may be linked to actual gov names ?

Depends on the use-case. If you’re accepting donations you probably already have that issue. Also depends on the user, if the 353 points to a silent address and BOLT 12 then there’s nothing to tie it to. Ideally it would point to those plus an on-chain fallback but no one would use the fallback so it wouldn’t matter.
makes sense. Tyty
I still think it will end up in a buncha people unwittingly doxxing themselves, but at least there's a way to use it correctly.
Sadly address reuse is baked into a lot of the flows popular in the ecosystem. 353 (and combined QRs generally) push towards a single identifier which can allow the underlying address to rotate underneath or seamlessly upgrade to things like silent payments which do so without active servers. I don’t think we fix address reuse by yelling at people, we need better tools.
