The tool could have a mode where it just reads the cryptographic chip in your ID card via NFC and passes on the information to the verifying party. This information is signed by your government and they could verify it with the public key

Instead, they're trying to shoehorn your device into providing the same safety level and, in doing so, making it by design impossible for you to control your own device. Obviously if the sites trust a device that you control, you can make it tell them anything. The ideological part is that it's not your device anymore then and imo we should oppose that. The technical solution is to use the hardware security chip you already have with a reading mechanism that (nearly?) every smartphone already has and even works on any OS that can run a USB NFC reader. It could be an entirely open standard
