Facebook already doesn’t.

The article is about AMZN collecting palm prints of people that opt in to a specific program that has alternatives.

The US gov doesn’t have alternatives. When they ask for your biometric data you give it, or else they deny your clearance/ background check/entry to the country.

You don't really have much choice about corporate surveillance unless you live in a cave and never communicate with anyone, and I have no power over Amazon.

The government is limited by the voters, Constitution, laws, and two other branches of government. I have no power over Amazon.

Anyway, I don't see why the government is relevant: Amazon is the topic, as you said.
