The main reason is that it is completely unnecessary? There is literally nothing to gain from it except compliance with bad solutions for made up problems.
I look at it like this: my pgp key(s) protects my identit(y/ies). This is 90s tech which is better (because I can self-issue), more secure (because it's technically algo agnostic) and definitely more private (because I only send keycerts to servers of my choosing, if any) than any of the digital ID proposals I've seen thus far.
I don’t think that any of the digital ID proposals have anything remotely resembling security concerns involved with them. They only have control considerations. You can see how much you can trust the state with any supposedly secure data with all the data breaches they seem to generate.
You are right, personal security is best.

Which means you have to look out for yourself by yourself. Do not depend on anything else someone else would do for you because they have other concerns than your security; like profits. Also, it seems to me, that there are a lot of companies selling their supposedly secure personal information to other companies and users.
