The statement you're responding to was about how OIDC4VPs doesn't solve the NASCAR problem, eliminates holder choice in digital wallets, and puts market power in the hands of the existing IdPs or RPs (who have no choice but to pick the large IdPs today). Issuer federations are an orthogonal subject (with a much easier answer). What's the solution that OpenID is bringing to the table that allows an open wallet ecosystem? How are we not walking large enterprises and governments into vendor lock in when it comes to digital wallets? CHAPI and DIDCommv2 have always had answers to this question, not always the most ideal answers, but answers nonetheless... it seems to continue to not be solved in the OpenID ecosystem. The closest thing I've heard is "scan a QR code", which is only a partial solution (what if you just want to stay on the same device?), followed by "and the wallet will probably need to be a registered OAuth2 client" which walks right into the centralization trap that OpenID has always walked into. I'll highlight that the large IdPs don't seem to see it as a trap, clearly, because the current state of affairs (centralization) is garnering them a lot of business these days. How do the start ups compete in this space with OpenID? How are we protecting innovation and holder choice? -- manu -- Manu Sporny - https://www.linkedin.com/in/manusporny/ Founder/CEO - Digital Bazaar, Inc.
