It isn't a technical marvel, it is technical bureaucracy. There is a reason people don't want to use it.

Also once implemented and widely adopted, the state would obviously increase demands on usage. This isn't rocket science.

I understand the cryptographic principle. That isn't the problem here.

yeah, “technical” is not the right adjective, rather the marvel (to me) is the fact that a government managed to deploy a privacy friendly electronic ID system based on sound cryptographic principles.

it’s a marvel because, well, as you put it, there’s all this bureaucracy and when I first discovered it was implemented and every single new electronic ID has this capability since a couple of years, my jaw dropped.

But fully agree the process and the backend itself are not very usable at the moment.

Maybe my expectations around government digitization are too loo though.
