Agnosticity

Agnosticity in a technology context indicates a desired goal to avoid being trapped in silos controlled by Big Tech companies that dominate specific markets with proprietary hardware and/or operating systems, thus enabling the extraction of rents from services provided within those walled gardens.

For biometric authentication to operate outside of the control of Apple and Google, processing ecosystems must maintain device agnosticity to promote cloud-based solutions which are not dependent upon hardware elements.
