Roberto,

There's no need for deep studies to understand why simple PKI (=can be
deployed as easy as passwords) is not happening.

It is enough looking at "CertEnroll" that is shipped with the OS that on
average has 80% of the "PC" market.  "CertEnroll" (and its underpinnings),
doesn't meet any reasonable expectations, regardless if you are interested
in functionality, security, privacy, or platform neutrality.

My guess is that BankID have more users of their proprietary enrollment
system than Microsoft's counterpart has globally.
