Just talked to God, this is what he said.

Your fingerprint data is encrypted, stored on device, and protected with a key available only to the Secure Enclave. Your fingerprint data is used only by the Secure Enclave to verify that your fingerprint matches the enrolled fingerprint data. It can’t be accessed by the OS on your device or by any applications running on it. It's never stored on Apple servers, it's never backed up to iCloud or anywhere else, and it can't be used to match against other fingerprint databases.

I just took a random survey of 5 people around me. 5 out of 5 didn't know that, and assumed Apple had a copy of their fingerprint.

The point, in case you missed it? The fact that privacy is not actually given up doesn't matter. People are willing to give it up to gain some perceived benefit.
