I expect they were trying to contrast with face recognition, though.

That's how I understand it too, I think this is just UX, by the time you check out they know who you are and what did you pick up, so I think the palm is just a gesture to confirm, maybe confirming by walking away the store with item or with a face was a weird user experience, and they are trying confirmation "by hand". Or I'm curious what happen to the, "you just walk away with your items" experience?

Current Amazon go experience: Open amznGo app -> hold qr code over reader to gain entry to store -> grab stuff -> walk out Amazon go experience with one: hold palm over reader to gain entry to store -> grab stuff -> walk out
