The idea is that even if someone points a gun at you they can't do anything to you immediately if you don't have a phone or a credit card with you (as far as I know anyway). But with biometrics no matter what precautions you take, you'll always be in a position to give people your stuff by force

And not even that damaging for you, it’s obviously and clearly fraudulent, you’d have no issue getting the chargeback.
