In June 2021 the European Commission launched a reform of the 2014 eIDAS Regulation to overhaul Europe’s framework for electronic identity (eID) systems.

The thing is that sooner or later we will be forced into such a system. The problem is that it is hard (but not impossible) to do this the right way and it would be a very powerful thing to have for everybody. But getting it wrong will have horrible consequences.
