All of those things exist but they’re not being used. When you arrive at Pearson you must redo everything.
If you'd read my message above (which you quoted in your reply!) you'd know those things *are* being used. They weigh and measure your bag at the YKF check-in desk, and then they tag it. They also use the document scanners at the YKF check-in desks to do document verification.
You actually don't have to re-do everything at YYZ. Your bag is already tagged, your passport is already verified, etc. If your destination is international they won't let you on the bus without the passport verification (including checking required visas).
What they don't do at YKF is security.
My only real complaint about the service is the YYZ -> YKF direction. I wish the bus left from somewhere in the D gates at YYZ. That way one could wait for the bus airside, including in the lounge.
