    these digital IDs are not a replacement for the original physical ones

    So, it’s basically the same as taking a photo of your passport and keeping that on your phone.

      No, it’s better because Google can validate that it’s your information so they can use it to sell better targeted ads for more money. Or more pessimisticly sell that info to other companies/countries/scammers.

      You take all the risk they take all the profit.
