You have the answer about halfway the letter:
It's a consequence of Americans not wanting a government issued ID, so they'd rather have the DMV issue them one. They will also use their Social Security Number, printed on a piece of paper that expressly states it's NOT to be used for identification purposes... for identification purposes.
In saner countries, the government issues everyone an official ID card with strong anti-counterfeiting features, then every other document relies on one's ID card for identification purposes.
Spot on. Just like a lot of other things (taxes being the notable one that I can remember) an unreasonable amount of US people hate it when government does anything useful with their tax money.
Want an ID? Fucking do it yourself, but oh btwz here's this shitty paper that you can never share or lose or you're fucked.
Want to know how much tax you should pay taxes? Figure it the fuck out yourself (but then we'll still do it for you and ruin you if you fuck up)
Want to avoid going to jail? Be fucking telepathic and know how to do it yourself.
It's a pretty insane thing to tolerate and yet here we are.
