>Why is it only the most dangerous countries that make people do this?
It’s not. Technically also mandatory to have your passport on your person in Japan, Ukraine (which I guess counts as dangerous now, but wasn’t when I was there years ago), Hungary, and a bunch of other countries I’ve visited. No idea about whether photos on phones or photocopies suffice; the only place I’ve ever been stopped and asked for it was Ukraine (where I had it, and the cops robbed me anyway).

I’ve read stories online of Japanese cops escorting people back to their hotels to get their documents, but I don’t know how often it happens, and it didn’t happen to me.
