I've never had an airline copy information from my driver's license, or ask

Checking ID before issueing a boarding pass is universal.
That includes all the airlines.

That is true, but they just look at it. They don't record it nor should
they. A passport is used to identify someone. Not even immigration officers
record it when you enter a country. They look at it and stamp it. Period.

In the past, though, that has been because there was no really
practical way to deal with the info.
