It's pretty expensive to deal with all of the technical support and identity verification work when people lose their devices and need to have credentials reset.

How do the apps bootstrap identity? Do they just use Apple/google (that seems really bad), or do they have you do some verification and input a token into the app somehow?

It's even more expensive to have your country's digital ID held hostage by the US or its big tech players.
