Depends on the use case of the "fingerprint-protected". For me, the fingerprint sensor is just the fastest way to open my phone.
Even with no security/pattern you have to first press the power button, then swipe up. With a fingerprint reader, you tap your finger to the sensor and the screen is not only on, but the lockscreen (swipe) was bypassed.
