And what has been stopping malicious companies from doing this before? To enter bars in most European countries you are already required to show identification prior to entering.

this has never been a thing in any European country I've been in. Maybe if you look underage, but definitely not the norm.
Never happened to me. Never heard of this happening. Seems anecdotal and likely not widespread at all.
I have never been asked to show my ID at any bar in any country in the EU I travelled to.

You must have been to more European countries than I have...
(Twelve, I think.)

Absolutely not true unless you're a kid.
From a US perspective: 1) ID is usually not required but rather checked when is not clear and 2) it’s usually a visual check not a scan of the ID (though I know some bars do do this) so nothing is electronically captured.
