Definitely possible that Apple will win the identity wars. That said, I don't agree with the characterization of web3/web5 as "having to trust nobody". If anything, all the efforts around identity are meant to allow for bringing IRL notions of trust onto the internet. In other words, the whole pseudonymity thing is not a result of using blockchain, but just the fact that nobody's bothered to add identity verification to a lot of stuff happening in web3. That's changing though.
