That article is also so obviously biased and manipulative. To pretend to be balanced while controlling the narrative in their favor, they have a short section where they mention some lesser downsides while downplaying them and completely failing to even acknowledge the main concerns that people’s basic rights for privacy would be violated by such a change.

And then they dangle the carrot of a better credit score in front of their readers should they accept to have their rights eroded further. What kind of dystopian bullshit is this?
