In very few of those use-cases does the entity 1) _retain_ any of that data, 2) posses an internet-scale database of identities.
And as we've all come to know the distinction between "able to surveil" and "collect it all" crosses a threshold to make it of a different kind.
If one's mindset is that in general, tech companies, unlike those other entities store it all, then there actually is a recent "trend" to migrate a normal behavior into an abnormally socially adjusted space.

It is already illegal to retain copies of ID cards or even some of the data in many countries. Just requesting a copy without redactions is wandering into a gray area in Germany.
