I am looking for a website similar to localbitcoins or something that doesn't have crazy ID requirements. Localbitcoins has gotten silly and they are asking for crazy stuff. I remember years ago it never used to be like that. So now I am looking for an alternative. I just want to be able to send a bank transfer to somebody or to a company, and then receive some bitcoins. Without having to stand on one leg, jump in the air with a written piece of paper stating I authorise the payment while balancing my ID on my head.

You must consider from seller point of view. If a seller do not check if the money he received from the payer is bitcoin purchase by payer himself, then very likely he will become the victim of man-in-the-middle attack, stolen account of cheated old people/women paid money to the seller, and the scammer run away with bitcoin, the seller got called to police and explain why he did not deliver the goods those old people/women wanted

There will always be people that lose money because of old, stupid or greedy, and if a system can eliminate the risk of those people being scammed, e.g. you can always be certain that the people who paid the money is the sole initiator of the bitcoin purchase, then I don't see the need for ID documentation check, if the payment received shows the sender's name

However, recently law enforcement have started to track blockchain to analyze who send bitcoin to darknet and purchase drugs, that is also a reason that they need id documentation check during all the transactions
