But for most people, the lock on their phone isn't protecting them from the government, it's protecting them from nosy relatives, a pick pocket, or the guy that finds the phone you left at the bar, or their 4 year old.

I think people need to adjust their security policies to reflect the actual security threats they're likely to face, and for most people Touch ID or FaceID are more than adequate.
