In this specific case, why fear the government?

My government has already seen my government-issued ID. If my government hasn't worked out my phone number, they can always ask the phone company. My address is required for the ID, voting, and filing taxes. I don't see how the government learns anything from this?

Conversely, I would like to believe most companies do not have my government-issued ID, nor a lot of the information on it.
