Most attacks are remote, not involving physical access to a specific (compromised) device. Think a compromised website exposing 1000s of peoples passwords, and trying those passwords against other services. For that threat vector, it is more secure.
The way I would look at it is if that threat concerns you, don't use it for high-value accounts (email, bank, etc). Still is probably worth using for all those other low-value accounts; if an attacker has your phone, and has broken in to it, them having access to your Netflix account is probably the least of your worries.
