This hasn't been implemented because none of the people who value Linux and have the technical skills to implement this care about fingerprint readers, nor care to support people who do. If you don't like that, then do it yourself or pay somebody else to do it for you.

Your comment is saying something that everybody already knows. It doesn’t add to the conversation, it’s needless snark.
NoLsAfterMid's comment betrays an entitled attitude (e.g. "Linux should want this because I want this"), he doesn't seem to actually understand how or why things get done in the area of Linux. Linux itself doesn't "want" things, Linux itself cannot want to support particular use cases. Either somebody who wants something supported does it themself, or they pay somebody else to do it.
