Indeed. But still I don't get the real reason.

Gathering a huge database of biometrics characteristics sampled from many regions of the world to counter one of the strongest arguments against the mass roll-out of biometric surveillance technology: racial biases inherent in the models due to only being able to train on a small part of the world population (e.g. only US, Europe or China).

Licensing this database out could be massively valuable.
