Best guess is that it is similar to Germany. In Germany, there are no anonymous prepaid SIM cards anymore. They're now registered to your name.

Thus, in theory, the gov has access to it too.

I wonder if there would be interest in sim swap parties. This is an idea I had with Oyster cards in London where you get together and swap Oyster cards with other people to confound the profile building.

I suppose a problem with that might be if someone who takes your SIM does something illegal with it. Then you are on the hook for it.

That's not "biometric." I assumed the OP had something in mind more specific.

In India, all SIM cards have to be linked to Aadhar card , which is a unique identifier of a person with biometrics attached
