I think it’s probably a failure of an idea, but I think “pyramid scheme designed to harvest biometric data” is uncharitable and wrong.
I read the "pyramid scheme" (given the rest of the comment) as an accusation that it exists primarily to monetize the biometrics that individuals provide of themselves and any effects like "people can authenticate themselves online with our service" are secondary.
This doesn't rule out Worldcoin being wrong, though. (See the whole "data is the new oil" phase).
