    I’m going to go out on a limb and assume that paying someone $200 for a scan is cheaper than creating a person from nothing, and that’s the only reason they want it.

      I don’t think it is cheaper even now. Once you set up everything you easily produce millions of random faces. Another commentor suggests it might be a legal issue on data used for generative AIs. He might have a point

        I think it’s both a legal issue and a financial issue. They need consent and compensation to scan people/faces/etc. to train the AI models.
