You think they can't collate your receipts just because you pay by cash I've got a bridge to sell you. Facial recognition on the tills combined with time and date of till transaction and they have all they already.
The type of argument you're making is this: "Climate change is happening anyway, let's build more coal plants!" I don't really agree with the type of argument in general.
Corporate surveillance that can be turned into surveillance for the state at a whim is destructive to democracy and makes society worse.
Also, facial recognition is much slower and much less precise and generates much more data/noise than just collecting info from a card. There are quite a few practical hurdles here.
