Is it the exception? Every country I’ve bought a SIM card in recently has required a passport or ID

Requiring IDs is not the exception these days. Also, limiting government power through policy seems unpopular because it doesn't work.
Fortunately that's not the only identity separation you can create, which IMO is as or more important day to day than encryption and other technical solutions.
But nothing beats limiting government power through policy which seems to unpopular these last few decades.
