Why not let users pick their own Trusted Verifiers?

I'm guessing because users will just "verify" themselves, and then the whole thing is meaningless.

Users can then choose to subscribe or unsubscribe from a Trusted Verifier, if one starts to act in an unsavory manner. That a Verifier exists doesn’t mean people have to use it

In the current system, anyone can verify anyone else.

That's absolutely possible for them to pivot to in the future. We'll see.
