In principle it is a bank account number to the federal government or a routing number. But it sort of evolved (always intended) to become more of a serial number for citizens bcz a regular government ID is not serialized enough with how this dumb country has states and different rules per state per ID. America does not work. It can not be used in general purpose as ID.. except it is a component of setting up financial approval.
Does that clear it up :) No? Yeah well welcome to America.
So it is a critical document that mostly used in financial life of American citizen, so it could be used in various cheats in financial sphere. Am I right?

There are tons of weird things of that type in every country you could find. F.e. we have "pension insurance number", "individual taxpaying number", "mandatory medical unsurance number" and it's not easy to explain to a foreigner what they are in real life and how they really used.
Not in that sense.
