I feel like I'm missing some background. Yes, there's been much clamor for forcing use of government IDs recently, but I would hardly call any such system "decentralized", given its reliance on government ID — that seems like an inherently centralized system.

Is someone calling these "decentralized"? To me, decentralized ID is OIDC, which is "being developed" it's mostly not catching on at all, in favor of sadly centralized system like "login with [Google|Facebook]".

Is there some weird crypto-blockchain-something-something that I'm not aware of?
