It is now with a lot of things, all under the guise of securing and preventing fraud.
But there is only one reason, total control over the population.
Just take the example that banking can no longer be done through the website, only through the app, which is much more susceptible to fraud, and then they now come up with face verification, SIM card veryfication and so on.
It drives you crazy, (at least I do).
