eIDAS tends to hear "our European Sovereignty" when they hear Self-Sovereign.

You can't have a government issue a Self-Sovereign identity to you, it's an oxymoron. They can only issue credentials. But then they'd feel like they're losing control, so they pervert it. Now they call it SSI but it's just digital credentials.

The very title says it all: German implementation of eIDAS will require Google or Apple ID. That's not self-sovereign identity.

And that's why I find it lame.
