Not rare. Approximately 80% of people have a brother or sister. On average siblings are less than three years apart, and share 50% of their genes. Children from the same parents tend to look alike.
Apple has researched this:
> The probability that a random person in the population could look at your iPhone X and unlock it using Face ID is approximately 1 in 1,000,000 (versus 1 in 50,000 for Touch ID). […] The probability of a false match is different for twins and siblings that look like you as well as among children under the age of 13, because their distinct facial features may not have fully developed.

- dougSF70 5y agoThe very last people I would want to expose my secrets to, would be family members. Whereas if a stranger hacked into my phone, beyond those secrets that have some fixed frame of reference, such as Bank Details and Social Security Number etc, a lot of other information is context-less and therefore hard to determine whether it has value. Siblings on the other hand would know the value immediately; "you sent [x] to person [y]", 'you said [z] about [a]".
