    Are you new? That option will eventually go away. Especially for people who cannot confirm that they need it.

    Instead of coming up with a better way to do all this, they'll spend that time and money coming up with a way to confirm that people are actually blind and actually need the alternative method.

    Speed/convenience.

    It's like phones people use their thumb or face to unlock even though that's objectively less secure than a good password.

    I feel like this is a slow boil eventually they will make it mandatory that you need to have your fave scanned.

    It's worth mentioning by 2027 all new vehicles have to have facial scanners installed and they watch you 247.
