How will I benefit from having a digital ID? I won’t.

So why give away my privacy and gain nothing?

Sounds unnecessary and therefore stupid.

The equivalent apps here in Australia don’t have the capability to track or surveil you.

And then you say:

…generate a time based token that can be scanned and verified.

There’s your tracking, you’ve just been scanned and both your location and timestamp have now been recorded by the scanning app, and all the other data associated with whatever you were doing, like buying alcohol or entering a nightclub.
