Digital ID is safe from abuse by our ad overlords as long as it only happens in insular implementations for markets smaller than California. Things would look wildly different if digital ID was a thing in the USA (I find it rather amusing how they claim to have no ID at all, yet a decade in Europe seems to involve less presenting of ID than a month in the US involves presenting their driver's license ID substitute)

But I don't disagree, I'd rather have a rooted phone with a few islands out of my (and the software that I run!) control for sensitive authentication use cases than a phone where I'm not in control at all. Or than two phones, because only one of them can be rooted.
