eID PKIs have very little in common with the web PKI. There's a national root of trust with strong attestation. It's a very simple trust relationship. You already trust the respective government to issue IDs.

Plenty of European countries have an eID CAs and it works fine. The PKI part is a solved problem.

Doesn't even need ZKP, the CA can just issue an attestation.
