if only online services could implement an identity check that way.

Outside of banking and taxes, I can't think of a single online service that I want verifying my identity. Ostensibly, these services just want to verify if you're of legal age. The small, binary question of "Are you over 18?" should require much less private data than would be needed to verify my identity.
