I can only see this going into a very dystopian path. Based on their actions, I don't trust these companies, their security practices, nor their privacy policies. Why would I give them my biometrics? And my full palm, at that!? Hell no!

How is that any different than a credit card number? It’s still tied to you.

If your credit card numbers get stolen, they can cancel it and give you a new one. If your palm print gets stolen, you dunk your hand into a bowl of acid and are forever known as “smooth hands”.
