In hash tables, you never use cryptographic hash functions. Why? Because they're slower. Take SHA3, which is around 50x slower than SeaHash. That is really really bad for hash tables. When hash collisions happen in hash tables, they're resolved through collision-resolution strategy, such a linear proping. Fingerprints are one very narrow usecase for hash functions, and there are tousands of other uses.
