Re rubberhose security: Face ID and Touch ID were both major security blunders by Apple because these enable security services and criminals to compel anyone to unlock their devices and incriminate/rob themselves. Only what someone knows, rather than what someone has, cannot be chopped off, presented or forcibly-applied to unlock a device... revealing information under duress is a choice, having a fingerprint taken to unlock a device is not a choice.

Apple isn’t a security focused company though, its a consumer goods company where ease of use trumps most other things. With that in mind, biometric posing as security is great for their bottom line. Security or privacy is sometimes a nice byproduct of how they want to market devices.

Yes good to have options. Be beaten up or reveal passcode.
