I think I understand your intent, but this is not entirely true.
Canada has permitted citizens of the US to cross the border with an enhanced drivers license.
Europe established the EuroZone so that citizens of the listed countries did not need a passport to travel inside the EuroZone.
And listening to the news passports appear to be unnecessary to come into the US along our southern borders.
With all the changes we may be going retro and passports will again take on a higher level of importance. Or... Maybe we just micro chip everyone in the next Vaccine booster shot....
