Isn't it a deep vein scanner? Much harder to spoof than still images or even video.

Nope, just a normal camera + a lot of infrared light.

Even modern fingerprint capture can be done with just a phone camera (but that’s also a feature of Amazon One’s enrollment process - you use your own phone to take photos of your palms, then they’re verified on the entry tower and matched up.)

Hard to spoof. Not hard to collect.
