Depends a lot on the country you live in. In most European countries "carrying an ID" is legally required if the police stops you anyway (they do need a reason to see it though), so "show an ID at the entrance" is no big deal.

It's to my understanding mainly the US where ID requirements are often side eyed because many people don't have them and there's no national standard (and due to a variety of political reasons there probably won't ever be any.)

What the hell kind of draconian country forces you to always have an id on you? What if I go running with only my watch on (I’ve regularly done this with no malicious intent)

Lots of nations require carrying some form of ID: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_national_identity_card...

In the US, permanent residents are required to carry their green card at all times.

Here's a description of the law for the Netherlands, where I live: https://www.government.nl/topics/identification-documents/co...

There's difference between mandatory possession of ID, and requirement to carry it all the time. This list doesn't distinguish between that.

In my home country (Hungary) it is mandatory if you leave your home more than 500 meters and as far as I know, most European countries have similar rules.
