Not really, sounds like they were just trying to speed things up and that anyone with an airport-issued paper boarding pass would have been asked for the ID at the point of issue instead.

Yes, we all know how it works. But an airline can't expect everyone at the gate to suddenly produce ID if its ongoing stated policy is that one isn't required.
KARFA will be pleased to know the NQY battle was won; staff there seemed to stop wrongly demanding ID sometime in July.
