You are being overly cynical. The notion that a screenlock is onerous is entirely based upon the idea that doing it every time you want to use your device quickly becomes a major PITA: I despise the fact that I have to do a screen pattern over and over and over again, and honestly would disable it if I weren't forced to keep it on by an ActiveSync policy. If I could bypass it with a quick fingerprint scan that would be brilliant, and that is what Apple is going for. I'm going to guess they do okay in the whole glove situation.
