Given that, really the only thing that Bitwarden would have needed to do is to clearly label the PIN feature as being much less secure than the biometry option, especially when used in combination with the "do not ask for passphrase after browser restarts" option, which persists an only PIN-encrypted version of the master encryption key to disk.

Agreed -- I happily use biometric unlock, but there's no way I'd turn on PIN unlock.
