Why is UK one of the few countries left to require such documents? I have been asked for those documents in several EU countries to prove residency.

Most of the time if you're proving residency with such documents you're not a permanent resident and your ID is for foreign country under freedom of movement.

There's a huge difference for example between identity/residency checks in Poland for people who are in PESEL database and people who aren't - and if you're in PESEL, you're going to have polish ID card as well.
