Because these days you must overcomplicate things. I've been beating that drum for a while (I know of people who are vaccinators and got their yellow book stamped with C-19 vaccines too) but it has to be an app. Doesn't matter if it takes longer, it's potentially risky for privacy, opens up the chance of mass hacking and is 110% going to cost more.
