It doesn't seem all that scary if everyone's doing it. Just look at the use of facial recognition in the movie Coco. They could have made up any magic to stop Hector from leaving, but Disney decided to teach kids that having your faced scanned when going through security is totally normal.

And magic did stop Hector from leaving. He couldn't actually step on the flower petal bridge. So what was the point of the checkpoint?

I'd guess it is the other way around. It takes magic to be able to use the bridge. At the checkpoint they check to see that someone has put your photo out. If someone has then the checkpoint puts the enchantment on you that lets you use the bridge. Hector had no photo, so didn't get the enchantment at the checkpoint.
