The proprietary id is at least co-owned by all the major consumer banks, so it's slightly better than it being just some random small company. I'd prefer if it was a government operation of course, especially since now almost all contact with authorities goes through this system. The right thing to do would be to create a publicly owned e-ID and electronic cash, and replace the reliance on BankID and credit cards.

As a Trisquel user I am completely excluded from this system.

As far as I’m aware all Linux users are out of luck. Buying a cheap used android phone for BankID is probably the easiest solution.
