I think during the pandemic they changed the systems to rely heavily on the shape of people’s eyes, because so many people were wearing masks over their noses and mouths. I don’t honestly know how people could realistically change the shape of their eyes to fool these systems.

There are multiple common cosmetic surgeries that involve eye shape.

My drivers license photo went un-updated for over a decade. I didn't look remotely similar to my teenage self, and not a single person cared. Excepting one airport security person who commented on how old the photo was.
