Plus if an ID like that would exist, various servers would have to host it to save payment information. So your ID which is supposed to be super secret is available all over the place, and one leak would expose the ID of possibly millions of users. The amount of damage that could be caused would be tremendous.
And it's not like all of this can be "fixed", like making things hacker-proof. There are new libraries and systems out (almost?) every day, and people will use WHATEVER they want, and create vulnerabilities in their database related systems accidentally. It's more likely that leaks will occur more often, especially when it becomes more lucrative.

We're already living in a digital ID/currency world, so much so that I don't really see how blockchain could make it worse.
