Not trusting apple with keeping their promise they won't share the finger print in the future is a good reason.

So you're saying you're worried about apple pushing a malicious iOS update because they want your fingerprint?

If yes, this feels utterly nonsensical. They would be able to grab your fingerprint from the sensor anyway, whether you are actively using it or not...

Alternatively you might be spreading some weird conspiracy theory that instead of securely storing a "hash" of the fingerprint on a HSM, current touchid implementations are secretly sharing your fingerprints with Apple.

That's not really any less nonsensical.

What argument? It’s utterly ridiculous that you would assume Apple to be incapable of collecting your fingerprint data simply because you didn’t enable TouchID in their software.

Do you just not use the home button?
