I didn't comment at all on what the governments goals are

Edit: I agree with you 100%, but the fact that governments want to track people online has no bearing on how technically possible it is to build a system where they can't

An anonymous internet auth system (probably) won't get built, but it is possible to build

How is it possible to have something that both proves something about your identity but also does not allow ANYONE to deanonymize you?

That's probably too high a bar anyways? It's not like we have that today either.
