I think you're jumping to conclusions that aren't supported by the digital ID proposal.

Even with that: There's plenty of services dangerous to kids that we gate behind an ID check and I don't particularly see why internet is special in any way.

No one claimed the internet should receive special treatment. The two forms of ID check that you're attempting to equate aren't the same.
