A gesture unlock will provide the same and does not need a biological marker.

I believe biometrics aren't necessary to establish security and in the worst case reveal unnecessary information.

Reveal unnecessary information to whom? Both Windows Hello and iOS TouchID/FaceID never allow biometric data to leave the device. In the case of iOS, that data never even leaves the secure enclave.
