The fingerprint is not there because it's better than the PIN but because it's better than nothing, it makes people want to use such a protection. Before biometric sensors almost nobody bothered to set a PIN. Few people want to type a PIN every time they unlock the phone especially if in clear view of others. Biometrics just made security convenient enough to use.
