Those are American solutions, they only know the old way of scanning IDs.
For example, where I live websites only confirm my ID by asking through my government app. And I need to authorise which fields of my digital ID they can have acess to. The websites can’t request the whole data if they only need to know if weather I’m over 18. The government just needs to create a yes/no field.
Even simpler would be to use the EUid login app to generate a single use code/token to provide the website that yes/no answer. But that’s still in development I think, don’t know if it’s for each EU government app or an EU wide level app.
There are many modern solutions on the way, the Americans just refuse to evolve. Like USB-C ports or fixed bottle caps.
The EU solutions are worst. Having seen their solutions first hand as I work on a European big tech company… I can tell you RUN! Run as fas as you can.
