I know of at least one place where the MacBook Pro fingerprint sensor is approved for authentication, but the only other approved devices are dedicated hardware (security tokens).
does the fingerprint sensor API return a signed response from the fingerprint sensor or SE? or is it a simple yes/no?. if it's the latter, the whole thing is security theater.
If it's a signed response, at some point there's another piece of code that checks that the signature is valid and returns a yes/no.
I think the reason Apple's sensor was mentioned in this instance was due to how Apple handled storage and usage of biometrics as described in here https://www.apple.com/business/docs/iOS_Security_Guide.pdf
Compare that to, say, other laptop vendors: https://support.lenovo.com/us/en/product_security/len-15999
