From the diary of a digital war veteran

- no one will be interested in that online bank (early 1980s > half a million customers were using it in Finland when Internet came) - one-time passwords are far too difficult to use (served well until replaced mostly by face) - the identification service does not belong to banks (it has been heard from the times of Venice).

If you have a hammer..

Any number of use cases have been listed....

This mess must be cleared

We are now moving fast to the Trust Infrastructure with EUDI-compliant general purpose automatically interoperable identitywallets for all parties - the data source, the data rights holder and for the service provider.
