Because, maybe, they just prove you have them in your possession, not that they're yours?

Might as well just take your polling card then, same level of proof. Not everyone can get a Bank Account. This has sod all to do with fraud, more trying to persuade a section of society not to vote.

There used to be a Post Office card account for those who could not open a bank account to get their benefits but apparently that is closing in 2021.

55% are in council housing, while 24% are in the private rental sector
31% are between the ages of 20-29 and 26% between the ages of 40-49.
70% are recorded as having nothing in savings, while 20.5% have between £1-100.
73% primarily use another financial product, such as a Post Office Current Account or credit union, while 27% are cash-only.

How many of those choose not to have one, as opposed to cannot get one.

Having had one for a purpose (a member of the Armed Forces), I had no issue then - but an ID card should have a purpose, not for unquantifiable reasons.

at a time of massive identity fraud it might seem like an option..and frankly in an age of relentless CCTV coverage it's becoming harder and harder to avoid invasion of privacy anyway.
