Did you only read the middle paragraph?

I read that. I also read the first sentence in the parent's question. He was asking why there was a difference between the US and the UK.

The comment I responded to was saying that not everyone does see it as a good thing, but that doesn't mean that the fact that there is no national ID explains a difference.

The comment you were replying to was saying there isn't a difference between the US and UK. It's a divisive issue in both with some people pushing for it and some thinking it's a bad thing.
