So in order for your identity to be accepted as valid by the governments under Apple's global ID system, you have to give their software a record of the unique biometric markers of your fingerprint or face, and agree to whatever terms Apple put in its ever-changing terms of use.

I assume the Android implementation will end up being identical, to allow governments to give the illusion of choice, but there will be increasing pressure on people to enrol in this unified system, just like how regular covid testing (in lieu of vaccination) is made prohibitively expensive.
