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!

I don't get the issue with it ? Why wouldn't fingerprint be the best way to pay for stuff ?

For the same reason this isn't a good idea. Privacy aside, when your biometrics get leaked (and they will), you'll have no recourse, because biometrics are literally a part of your body and you can't change them.

How do you open your phone? Finger print?

I use a code, and I also use CalyxOS.
