That would slow down the system too much. It'll probably work if self-checkout lanes were actual lanes that can have an individual gate at the end, but in most cases self-checkout is an open area with a single exit that everyone funnels into - putting a gate there would slow it down to a crawl.

Once you are done scanning items and have paid, your receipt has a barcode you have to scan to exit. It always takes longer to scan your items than get through the gate, so I’ve never had to wait.
