Sometimes I‘m thinking about hosting a lemmy instance that does that bit would not store your info just to fight the tide of astroturfing.
It’s finally getting more widespread use. I‘ve had a machine readable ID with biometrics for two decades before I was able to actually use it for the first time online.
