There are two aspects to this. Aadhaar is a photo ID and hence can be used as photo ID by anyone wanting (or mandated) to do so. That includes companies like Amazon.
So 'Amazon asked my biometric data' is just complete bullshit. It didn't.
On the other hand, it's the government that has normalized the association of Aadhaar to every aspect of your life. The fact that it's been contested in the SC does not change that. It's in that sense that I am giving them blame.
