> illogical fear that impedes your normal life

I don't agree with the premise that disabling bio-metric security impedes a normal life. Nor has OP given me any reason to believe they are afraid of it in the situations you described.

Passwords and pass codes (when managed well) are perfectly normal security tools to use to ensure your privacy on a device you own.

You can’t ensure your privacy on a “device you own” if you don’t trust the device manufacturers.
