There is nothing complicated about simply not having a fingerprint option. If the main machine knows it cannot trust the fingerprint secure enclave, then there is nothing complicated at all about simply, not trusting it. The user simply has to unlock the phone with a pin or pattern etc. This does not, in anybway, require bricking the device. That is simply a deliberate and hostile act of aggression against the user.

Yes, but how does the phone know the TouchID sensor has been switched by a Good Guy and not an attacker?

Security has drawbacks.

Not really an argument for saying an implementation isn't possible.
