It's not to make sure they are authorized to leave. It's for matching exits to earlier entrances, so they can tell if people who came on time-limited visas left when they were supposed to.

In that case there is 0 reason to compel scanning everyone. Only people who are on visas would volunteer to be scanned as proof of exit.

There are people who are not authorized to leave the country. Paul Manafort, for example.
