It’s not supposed to be an identifier, but since it’s the only nationally-assigned designation all citizens get it’s treated like one.

Which is stupid. It’s incredibly insecure, vitally important, leaked to every bad actor on the planet already, and unchangeable when it gets compromised (which it has been).
