If the skin is darker you've obviously got less reflected light to measure, so your data is inherently going to be less precise as it gets harder and harder differentiate the data from noise.
They are basically suing apple because their engineers aren't able to break reality and come up with a sensor that can see minute changes in a dark surface as well as it can see minute changes in a light surface.
Imagine white people suing the government for not giving them free sun lotion, and that's the level of stupid we're dealing with.
This is the same shit with black people not being seen as "faces" on cameras with face detect software. Less contrast and less reflected light in general mean worse function for this stuff
There's also the fact that politically incorrect insults didn't come out of nowhere. Black person = gorilla became a thing because of certain similarities the two have in looks. The best way to describe how these algorithms work is that they determine "how similar" a new image looks to things that the AI already knows, and then return the "most similar" as the result. So a black person's image is going to be more similar to a gorilla's image because that's the reality of the light coming off those things that cameras or our retinas detect. That's how the infamous incident with Google labeling blacks as gorillas then removing all gorillas from their training set came about.
It's like when Roseanne said Valerie Jarrett looks like Dr. Zaius from Planet of the Apes. It's not some oonga boonga racist trope, she literally looks almost exactly like the character and you have to be a heavily self-deceiving communist to not see it.

Well maybe if they smile more it would be able to see them in the dark.
Yeah you can like see my veins through my skin on my inner wrists.
