There are plenty of people willing to give DL biometric data, but I doubt its the same people expressing concerns over this. On my flight two weeks ago I had a very good reminder of why you need to be mindful of privacy and sensitive data. The guy in the window seat boots up his computer to do some work and the first thing the guy in the middle seats says to him is "What are you working on? It looks like a legal document. Are you a lawyer?" Its naïve to think that all of the information about you isn't out there already, but no reason to wrap it up and put a bow on it for the nefarious people/entities that desire it.
