Could you explain what's wrong with disinfecting the fingerprint scanner?

Fingerprint scanners are legacy tech. The cool kids now are using palm vein scanners - great CER and non-contact, you just hover your hand an inch above.

Read about those at least a decade ago but never seen them in practice. Are they really used much?

The problem is convenience. I have to press the elevator button every day. After I disinfect my hand for the 5th time that day I use the stairs. Same with the fingerprint scanner.
