Europe has had interoperable eID for a while now, yet it hasn't lead to an increased number of sites digitally authenticating me.
On the other hand, for the few sites that do have a legitimate need for wanting to verify my identity (banks, tax authorities etc.), I feel much better about using actual eID than doing the weird dance of sharing my SSN (the worst bearer token in history) and maybe uploading a photo of my license that they might (but probably won't) check for being lost/stolen/involved in prior identity theft.
Unlike with the "photo of a physical ID" non-model, eID even has the potential to only share some assertions about you selectively (e.g. only your age, but not your name or even date of birth, or a company-specific/non-cross-correlateable identifier).
