A well implemented system would somehow allow you to use your ID to prove you have the attributes a service needs (being over 18, able to drive, no criminal records, not a communist or whatever it is they need) without providing any further information that would allow multiple services to correlate ID's against eachother.
Making confirmations of those attributes easily available will only result in more services requiring them. It's not worth the convenience for the vanishingly few cases where such a verification is actually beneficial.
Better, but still vulnerable to deanonymization, I think.
And doesn't address many of the other problems (eg accuracy)
