That is exactly what will happen. The sad thing is, it needs to happen. I've found myself advocating for this lately, when 10 years ago, I wouldn't have even considered taking that position.
If Web3-like session-signing had taken off enough to become OS or even browser-native, we would have had a fighting chance of remaining mostly anonymous. But that just didn't happen, and isn't going to happen. Mostly because fraud ruined Web3.

No, it doesn't.
There's literally no other way to combat rampant botting, child abuse, and nation-state originating disinformation campaigns and the intentional creation of public discord.
That's a false dichotomy. There are other possible approaches to address these issues that don't include ID verification. It also isn't the golden solution, verified accounts could still be stolen or bought.
You're a fool if you believe this. Nation states will still have utter impunity. That's why they build, buy or bully backdoors to secure design. The Epstein class will still get away with murder. All the little poeple will cower in fear of reprisal for speaking their minds.
