The problem isn't convincing people that you're dead. That's really easy.
The problem is convincing everybody that you're someone else. In this day and age, it's very, VERY complicated to assume a fake identity that stands up to scrutiny.

As I see it, the goal is to convince specific people that you’re dead and it doesn’t really matter if anyone knows you’re alive who wouldn’t tell them. There’s no need to fake an identity unless you’re specifically hiding from the government.

Yep exactly. Shops use cash less, cctv everywhere, medical care etc etc. The list is endless.
