Speaking as a application developer (digital signatures solution) which has to integrate with government related entities, i'd love an official government-run authentication. Just give me an OAuth endpoint for the government solution which allows me to authenticate users and it will make the life simpler for everyone.

We have this in Denmark. It's pretty great. Two-factor authentication for bank logins, gov websites, and for online card purchases.
This may become possible soon. Login.gov is an SSO provider for the federal government.
Many gov agencies seem to be going the ID.me route in the US. I don't like that.
