By photo ID, I don't mean just any photo, I mean "photo id" cryptographically signed by the state, certificates checked, database pinged, identity validated, the whole enchilada

No one is giving a random site their photo ID.
You'd be surprised, many humans have simply no backbone, common sense nor self respect so I think they very probably would still, in large numbers. Proof is facebook and palantir.
