"this data gets used for digital identity"

I'm interested in this point. While I get that an overreaching state could enable the other parts, is a digital identity really such a bad thing?

In the UK there is a Tax login, NHS login, Life event login, benefits login, passport login, driver's licence login, council login...

The organisations hold and share all the data anyway but the fear around a single password is confusing.
