Absolutely not, nothing good can come of this. All youre doing is giving more power to Apple/Google to control everything youre allowed to do on your device. You now have to have an approved phone, with their approved Operating System, apps installed via their approved app store, an approved browser.. Etc etc.

That digital ID stuff is horrible as well, they already tested it during covid with the checkins nonsense.
