Perhaps the rules on what constitutes an employee vs contractor are different enough that Uber feels this wouldn't be a threat? Or perhaps the incentives are different enough that it matters less.

Because it's not about finger prints: that's trivial to do. (Hell, you could probably come up with a simple lens to put on a cell phone to extract enough info to get a print... Not to mention existing services. They're lying if they say this puts too much burden and couldn't continue to operate. No, they want to keep the fiction that there are no Uber driver employees, that they're all, to use the brain-dead term working in the "sharing economy".
