Yet a large number (and probably the majority with the capability) of people use fingerprint scanners or face unlock.

How many of those people understand that those lock methods are not covered by the fifth amendment?

I'm not arguing that those methods aren't popular, but that 'we' are not all moving away from passcodes to using them. There are still folks using passcodes, and passcodes continue to be a supported authentication mechanism.
