Eyes are just better at distinguishing similar dark colors against each other compared to cameras. Only the most expensive, massive and heavy cameras (costing hundreds of thousands of dollars, generally) can compete with eyes in this respect.
Plus human facial recognition is massively overpowered for normal cases. I think if you tested it in challenge cases (through blurry video, or snow, or in the dark, or at a distance), you might see darker skin tones being recognized less easily. It'd be an interesting experiment.
