Of course the FBI is raising a stink about Facebook switching to end to end encryption. And of course they're going to say they're worried about kids. Here's an idea - if the children really are their only concern, why not simply ask tech companies to disallow encryption when communicating with children? It's not a hard sell to suggest that kids require supervision. Problem solved, if that is in fact the real problem. I doubt it is, however.

I've come to expect this kind of data sharing shenanigans from websites, but from brick-and-mortar stores? Why? Don't they save enough money by not printing a physical receipt to more than pay for the service of emailing the receipt?

If ever there was an organization that a privacy tax would be paid to or filed with, Facebook would be the one. Of course, I don't mean a tax paid for the benefit of privacy - rather your privacy itself is the currency this tax is paid with.
Presumably H&R Block, TaxAct, and TaxSlayer were sending your tax data to Meta in addition to sending it to the government, rather than in place of sending it to the government. I'd hate to think they filing with the wrong entity.

If it sounds like Mark Zuckerberg is pulling a fast one by claiming Facebook won't use face recognition anymore but under their new name they will continue to use it, then you are not alone. It seems a bit like a bait and switch scam.
