Sure have
The whole concept of recovery is a problem that seems to have a wide ranging set of opinions depending on who you talk to.
I know many people who think some IT wiz kid should always be able to fix their technical problem if they complain enough. For these individuals I think they will always want identity tied to their person and they don't want to take personal responsibility for their Identity.
Flip side, I want the ability to spin up new identity when needed.
If opinions matter, it means there is no standard, no solution, so you've kind of made my point.
The problem is that keys must be replaced. So your key cannot be your identity. If I get your key then I change your NIP-05 (like some kid did to a custodial LN provider we shall not name) then all your identity would now belong to me.
This is why, not solving identity isn't the same as solving identity. It is the opposite.

Which services tied identity to you as a person, as in scanning your eyeball or fingerprint?
Hasn't it mostly been the case that you give a service an email address and password, and then you are responsible for keeping that password safe, or at least access to your email address so you can set a new password in case you forget it?
