> biometrics on phones is just another way so-called "tech" companies perform data collection ultimately to be used for commercial purposes No, sorry, that's just silly. Routine biometrics have made personal devices near-unhackable and almost un-stealable. They have turned automated password attacks into a historical memory. They are a huge boon to consumers. Yuge, even. Can they be abused? Yeah, sure. I guess everything can. But to cynically claim they have no value, or negative value, is just detached from reality.
