> DID in my opinion is unlikely to succeed.

Probably a few big tech companies will form a consortium and use their weight for setting a de-facto standard.



Or they won't use it and will be confined to a long tail of use cases?

I mean, not all of the Internet is accessed through a browser but if Chrome and Firefox don't support DIDs, even if Safari would, who would use DIDs in a context exposed to browsers?


Apple objected too I think.

Probably so. Centralized isn't always a bad word as you can see from the tire fire that is crypto.


Most crypto is fairly centralised, ironically.
