The world has changed since the 2000s. We already have many digital IDs. It's a no brainer to consolidate them.

Also the UK gov is notorious for departments not having an ability to correlate records, because they databases just don't align. Meaning every single process takes weeks to complete with actual human intervention.

Digital ID was a bridge for all of that
