The technological implementation is almost certainly an honest mistake but the marketing and sales around it is not. We've known about the importance of lighting in photography for more than a century and the computer vision industry has been battling the issue for decades in manufacturing because metal is shiny. Kodak even used to manufacture different films to better represent non-white people and camera sensor manufacturers today have entire teams with a swarm of diverse models dedicated to accurate color reproduction of skin tones across races. It's been an ongoing issue for people of color ever since TV became a thing because those technologies were initially very poor at color reproduction as well, but that didn't stop newscasters from jumping face first into televised manhunts. We've been around this block several times before and while the quarry may change from photo accuracy to ML driven facial recognition, the hunt does not. There's no excuse for selling technology to industries facing (or creating) life and death situations when the bugs are so obvious.
