Lots of people online annoyed at having to pay a fee (7 euro) to travel but this is what it's actually about.

Curious to know if EU governments are limited in what they can currently do with passport entry/exit data and if this expansion allows them to do more?

I should be exempt from the fee part (EU spouse), but I’m still annoyed by it because my country (Canada) signed treaties with several EU countries granting visa-free travel.

I’m kinda confused by the whole “entry-exit” aspect because I thought my passport was scanned in and out of the Schengen already.
