@HardenStance @[email protected] The most gentle phrasing would be "it is unnecessary." A less charitable way of putting it might be "boondoggle". There are also complaints about complexity, security, inconsistency, and so on. I think many see it as regulatory encroachment without an appreciation for consequences. My personal take is that this sort of thing is part of a more interesting phenomenon of what I think might be best classified as techno-nationalism. This is stuff interesting panel discussions are made of.
