Yeah Louisiana implemented a government portal that does exactly what you claim through the driver's license app. Their database was hacked a little under a year ago with basically all private citizen information stolen.
If you set up a system to use these mechanisms the data WILL BE stolen or mishandled.
We have eID features withiut such big problems.
Simply because the data resides on the card itself and can only be read using a certified terminal.
e.g. A website can get a certificate to establish a secure tunnel between them and your card through e.g. your phone.
Then the certificate only allows getting specific data e.g. if you are over 18 or not.
OPM was hacked as well. https://www.trendmicro.com/vinfo/de/security/news/cyber-attacks/us-opm-hack-exposes-data-of-4-million-federal-employees
