Nitpicking here. Older 1Password versions do allow unlocking using the iOS passcode if biometry fails, but I’m not sure it was ever intended as a feature. It isn’t a UI that is built into 1Password though, it’s the iOS fallback UI for that scenario (which looks very similar to the SIM PIN unlock screen).

A _lot_ of apps did and still do fall back to iOS passcode authentication when biometry fails. It does seem like more developers are disabling this, however.
