You're moving the goalpost.
That conversation started when you explained that you'd rather use something you know than let some corporation manage you biometric data.
But it's simply not true that some corporation is managing your biometric. That's why I replied that those systems are designed so that the biometric data don't leave the device. They are only needed locally.
Yes, I shouldn't have used the word "never" because the system is probably not perfect and may be hacked. But this is true as well of using an offline password manager that you unlock using something you know (key loggers, etc.).
To conclude, I agree that biometrics on phones are probably not 100% safe, like most things in life, and computing.
