They ask for what they need, if they need it. Fingerprints are used to differentiate between those who may have the same name as someone with the same, or similar, name.

PCC are generally asked for if you’ve spent a significant time abroad, and for the country in question. They don’t need a PCC from Canada as they have access to search all Canadian criminal records.
FPs are random, not tied to ppl with same name. It is also asked randomly for people where CSIS and IRCC has purged sensitive data, and need to re-run checks

Canadian visa officers use biometrics to confirm your identity. Biometrics also helps to:

make it more difficult for someone to forge, steal or use your identity,
resolve problems or errors that may happen if your name, date of birth and/or place of birth are similar to those of someone else, and
confirm your identity the next time you apply, so it is easier for you to re-enter Canada.

Granted that it doesn’t specifically mention citizenship applications on this particular page, however, I’m sure that we can expect that all of those reasons apply.

Also, quick question: I moved to Canada on a PR in 2020 Feb. I checked with an immigration consultant at the Toronto Public Library about submitting the PCC, and she said No (she said you already submitted the PCC when you applied for the PR). Is a PCC required in my case? If yes, how can I submit it now?
for the PCC , those who submit during immigration and has not travelled outside for 6 months or more to any other country post PR does not require the PCC.
if IRCC required, they may ask it later.
check Q#10 in the below link/
