For example, checking if you ever had an account at companies mentioned in your data takeout - to spot if someone does shit while using your name/personal information, or some incompetent/malicious clerk mixed up data.

That doesn't verify any data though. At most, it implies a likelihood of having an account, but nothing about the specific data.

If they're uncertain of your middle name for instance, uploading your ID just confirms that they had it right or wrong.
