My fingerprint scanner was on the back, but now it's on the front, and can't identify me as regularly as it did before.

I've gotten used to the new location, but I can't forgive making it less accurate than it used to be.

why on earth are people so comfortable giving private companies their fingerprint and face scans?

My understanding is that these fingerprints are specific to your device and don't get stored in the cloud. If you buy a new phone, then you'll have to rescan your fingerprints.
