I like instantaneous page loads after the initial first page load, which is what the JS does here. Hard to do so without it.
I don't see what JS code would provide this?

Unfortunately, this characterizes the entire project: "cool" examples with no practical utility. Meanwhile, the language itself is incredibly strange (functions via patterns are an example of strange language choice), extremely slow, and very unstable.
In short, it's developing in the wrong direction.
I switched from Mathematica to Matlab in my work; it was the best investment of time in the entire project
This function is user contributed. It's not official.

You can't intercept a passkey in the same way.
It is also far less likely to be phished, and there is nothing transmitted.
TOTP is the modern WPA2 of security - it's just not good enough when better alternatives exist.
What kind of risk profile does one have when it is likely that both the password is known and malware has been installed on the phone, but also just access to an ephemeral login session by the attacker (which could be obtained even when using a secure enclave by waiting for the user to authenticate by themselves) would not be enough?

The DigiID app could interact with websites, that's how it works for many other digital IDs in europe.
For example with bankID (sweden, and I think the norway version does the same) when you need to authenticate you either scan a QR code with the bankID app or select "on the same device" and then the website will interact with the bankID API to auth.
Either way you don't need your own app to get proper auth working with this sort of government login.
(With bankID the app devs still pay a per-auth price, but that is not due to any technical reason, just because its made by a profit-driven semi-monopoly)
This is the exact same as DigiD, except that there is no cost per-auth, only per-sms.
The parent comment is saying that Amsterdam wanted the users to install the DigiD app instead of relying on SMS authentication.
SMS is pretty much decentralized, although there's a few companies with a lot of reach. I don't remember any Global SMS outages, but it wasn't uncommon for a whole carrier to have an SMS outage and especially for inter-carrier SMS to be broken from time to time (sometimes for days). I've certainly seen some stuff with SMS aggregators: almost all of them claim a majority of direct links, but when you have accounts with 4 large aggregators and one of them has an outage, you find out which of your other account use that aggregator for which links (because their deliverability will go to zero to those destinations).
RCS was designed and specced, by GSMA, as a telco run decentralized system that would replace SMS as like for like; but there were only a handful of rollouts. It's really only gotten use as Google pushed it onto Android, using their RCS server; recently iOS started using it although I don't know what server they attach to.
Since RCS is basically the 5th wave Google IM, it's no surprise when they have a major outage, RCS is pretty much broken.

According to Wikipedia, only the carrier's RCS server is used [1]

You mean "how much money is given to people to do those things"? Because the money doesn't magically disappear in the pockets of "big beeb", all those tasks are performed by people who get paid for that, drawing an income and then spending the money they earned by economically participating in society.
There is no money being wasted. Although it might certainly be a case of paper being wasted.
