If the private key is stored on people's phones, all it takes is a breach of that phone to get the private key. This key is then authenticated "real".
Will people realize that this will not work for PoP, thus breaking world ID's reason to exist?
I will resolve to "yes" when I get a link to a reputable magazine or news paper making this observation. Otherwise I'll resolve to no.

@Jubilee Can you give examples of niche magazines? Reputable to me means adhereing to journalistic Standards and existing for a few years
If your key get stolen, I presume it will be the same as when your server get popped: you shamefully pin a revokation of your HTTPS certificate to some revokation server and you regen key and re-authenticate the key with the CA. As a certified WC hater I do agree it's basically public key crypto, but I don't think that's what kills it.
@ChristophSchlapfer people will just not sign-up (why would they? there is no salient thing it enables) and dev will not use it (nobody has one, it's thus useless). They boosted sign-ups early by giving bitcoin - but unless the stupid "we give UBI though it" actually gets implemented, there is no incentive for mass adoption. Maybe they can milk the crypto degen a bit, but that's not general population.
