Security measures are defined around threat models. People worried about the government getting access to their electronics probably won't rely on Touch ID. People worried about their stoner roommate using their machine can probably rely on Touch ID.

Especially since a password can't be forced out of you by the government, but they can force you to touch your phone. Touch ID is not protected by the Fifth Amendment, apparently.

I agree; I just like to remind folks of that fact :)
