It's an even simpler user experience to just publicly publish all private information.

Can you imaging, I wouldn't even need to give my social security number to another org manually again. Anyone could just look it up. It would make things so easy for everyone.



It's a trade off. If someone wanted they could keep reducing security to improve the user experience, but a product having bad security will be problematic.

Most people's SSNs have already been leaked or stolen so it's just security theater to pretend they are still private information.
