Why doesn't the article mention zero knowledge proofs?

The issue here seems to be the lack of cryptography.

    Fuck off.with that. These systems are evil

    If the alternative is everyone gets identity theft, I prefer the cryptography solution

    The problem is that it's Evil even if it works "right"

    It's not evil for me to use State-issued crypto ID for auth when opening a bank account or paying taxes or voting.

    From a not-evil corporation's perspective, how would zero knowledge proofs work exactly? Like is there a step at any point in the process where a person's identity is verified by another human and then "forgotten?" I understand the concept of zero knowledge, but I'm not solid on how this system would actually meet the requirements of a so-called zero knowledge identity verification process.
