Oh ho, within your own world it looks like you gave your vote. That does not prove a single thing. Even just pointing to that as something that convinces you shows how dangerous technology is. Also, the situation in Estonia is quite different than in most other countries, and most of these differences can be attributed to their size. Just as a reminder, there are ~500 cities with a population larger than Estonia. The bigger the system, the larger the influence, especially in countries that do have an existing and well-oiled lobbying apparatus. I cannot see any larger country introducing any system that has similar security properties, and the ability to reliably set aside the maintenance costs. Anyone can see too well how broken maintenance of public infrastructure is. So, on many levels, maybe nobody bothered to mess with the Estonian platform because it just doesn't matter from a global perspective.
