Why on Earth does everyone speaks about Estonian ID cards? Same ID-1 sized eID cards are now issued in many EU countries.

Estonia wasn't even the first, Belgium was.

Given that gp says “my” Estonian card, you can assume it’s because they have one and don’t have one of your country of choice.

They do because Estonia made the best use of them for their eGov, including for election voting.
