So instead of "There is a good identity", GP should have said "There are about 200 good identities around the world, but if your country happens to not have a single unified ID system you're out of luck"

There are 200 good identities in the world with an authentication system closed outside the official entities.

I have never seen any endpoint for the general population that can be used to authenticate a citizen
