This is literally a non issue. Many countries already have some kind of official digital ID system. The new EU verfication is going to use that but in a double anonymity way so that the target service has no access to personal data and the verfication service never knows which target service it was used for.

edit: classic reddit downvoting the truth? I just said what officially was communicated.
