I was on the ISO standard body for a short time on this. Not sure how much impact I had, but I advocated for this. There were also proposals for letting you only disclose subsets of information, although I don't know the state of that adoption. This would, for example, let you present your verified ID at a supermarket for restricted items purchase without disclosing anything other than that you are of a sufficient age and a photo (no name, address, etc).
RDW (the Dutch DMV, except allowed to be technologically competent) allowed the excellent prototype work that they funded (built by engineers at UL) to be open-sourced (https://github.com/mDL-ILP).
As per the announcement, the prompt will show you what information specifically the reader is requesting, which implies that depending on the use case it will be configured to request only the information needed (if your local supermarket requests your home address or anything else besides your age), you'd see that and be able to refuse the prompt.
Thank you for advocating for it, I am sure it made a difference!
I know even in the US when stores started scanning physical drivers licenses people were / are irked when we're talking about validating a birth date... I think just presenting what the user wants is a good proposal.
