That's a good point. I think maybe in that case you should just not use their service (if they require you to give your identity for a web service?). I have used a few services like online banking that require me to upload documents that effectively serve as uniquely identifying me individually. This situation doesn't seem to change with a digital id of sorts. I definitely would avoid using a digital id unless absolutely necessary, such as when dealing with banks, or the government itself. In this sense I think digital id is fine (and at least in my country already exists in some ways without any of those issues).
I think at the core digital id is just having a form of asking your government "Can you verify this is me to someone else?" (which is already something you do with id photos, passports, etc.). I wouldn't want to use it everywhere.
I think consumer protection laws that restrict denying digital service to a customer (without something like a criminal or legal basis) or indiscriminately requiring digital ids could be useful in reaping the benefits without the downsides.
