I used it in the pandemic for online appointments at several agencies like "Bürgeramt", "Arbeitsamt" etc.
I'd say the German government's solution is to just not offer any digital services in the first place. /s
In reality, they have some things moving, but too little, too late:
- Filing taxes has been pretty much digital only (for some sorts of taxes, at least) for a couple of years now. It's certificate based, where you "order" your certificate via snail mail.
- ID cards have a digital authentication function, but I have yet to see any service using it.
