Ah, classic false choice. Do you know it is illegal to do cash transactions over a certain amount in most Western countries now? In my mind, if I have a right to do something (buy a home), and there is only one approved way to do it, then I automatically have the right to use the approved way.
Similarly, having a government ID might technically be a choice now, but it won't be soon with all these age verification BS rolling out. So no, this is not entitlement. Your argument would work for anticheat in online games or DRM media, but not banks or government services.
I know this argument is used a lot, but it it really doesn't make sense to me. A government is expected to give you reasonable accommodation, but it's not their duty to let you run their software via a means they don't trust. It's convenient to use their app, but again not required.
Having controls is part of participating in society. I don't believe you should be able to make large transactions in total anonymity either. It's robbing you of a freedom, but society has deemed it a worthwhile tradeoff for preventing crime via money laundering and what not.
