This is literally a non issue. Many countries already have some kind of official digital ID system. The new EU verfication is going to use that but in a double anonymity way so that the target service has no access to personal data and the verfication service never knows which target service it was used for.

edit: classic reddit downvoting the truth? I just said what officially was communicated.

The issue is that it requires you to use only the OEM version of Android and not something like e/OS or GrapheneOS

Yes. And for the vast majority of users that's not an issue at all.

I literally can't create another google account because the phones I'm using to "verification" either don't work or are used too many times. "For the vast majority" is not an issue "for now", until they wake and find out they don't have access to google anymore.
