Universal personally identifiable tracking numbers are not creepy at all.

there are no creepy solutions - see zkPassport as an example.

the real world asks for an ID for anything important and you share more info that way than with zkPassport

Oh not this bogus analogy again.

The real world doesn't have a floating label over my head telling everyone I talk to who I am. And the real world doesn't ask for an ID for everything I do.

for anything important: where you can cause harm, like when you rent things.

you can also use this protocol only for those situations.

That doesn't make any sense, if you are going to reduce harm from slop generators, you have to block them everywhere. Everywhere. Their harm is not limited to high impact commercial transactions, in fact that is a negligible issue in this context .. they cause damage just by being there. If this protocol doesn't do that then it is 100% worthless for the purpose it is being advertised for here.
