The US still doesn't have wide-spread use of chip & pin on credit cards. Innovation & adoption of digital identity in this country is unlikely to be rapid.

That's not really the case anymore. The new struggle is contactless. I can count on my hands how many times I've had my current debit card swiped (which is good since its stripe is looking like shit by now).
Gas stations are finally implementing chip transactions (the deadline is Oct 2021 iirc), which fortunately generally includes a contactless reader.
But alas, we'll likely see the same problems with digital ID that we have with REAL ID.
