As an American, this is hilarious. The american people would riot in the street over something like this

Some Americans would. Those of us who want the US government to do an excellent job of taking care of the people in the USA (not just citizens) might be inclined to support such a centralized system for storing important personal information. I'm more collectivist after witnessing how the USA handled/handles COVID-19. I wear masks not just to protect myself, but also other people far removed.
I assume you mean that many Americans would consider this overreach by the government.
