Hence why this very post is about the method those companies are using to prevent such theft (in this case, facial recognition).

>Why should the company prosecuting the thieves be anyone else's problem?
Because a company isn't the government. The government prosecutes. A company might be an interested bystander, but they don't prosecute anyone.
This subthread is not about the use of such a technology, but about Home Depot tracking a customer to build a prosecution case over time. So, no, they're not using it to prevent theft, they're using it to punish theft they've allowed.
