Maybe I'm wrong then, but I just kinda assumed that when I log into some government platform by scanning my ID with an official app all it does is it confirms my identity and sends some kinda encrypted token to the api of whatever platform I'm trying to access.

Although if that's not the case then yea, I guess that wouldn't be very anonymous either.
