domestic flight never matches your flight ticket with your idenfication, how do they know it’s the right person boarding the plane?

Just theoretical question but for domestic flight within the US, when you enter the gate for security check, you just need to show your ID/ driver license. When you are boarding the plane, they just need to scan your ticket either in paper form or on the phone. They never match the name on your flight ticket with your identification, does that mean, if you buy a non-refundable ticket and you could not make it, you can easily transfer or sell your ticket to someone of interest to travel to the destination?

Custom is getting like this as well. Recently got off a cruise ship, and I didn’t have to show a passport or anything. Simply stand in front of the camera for a couple seconds and the software scanned my face and matched it to the passport database, and I carried on with my day.
