This is just a cumbersome way to enter a numbers-only password, not a pattern. I can go from 9 to 1 without making an edge between the nodes and it will be translated as "91".

No. People have the same problems with patterns as with passwords. Patterns are even more predictable then passwords because a human is lazy and will create an 'easy' pattern.
