The idea is usually to access the victim's banking app, or 2fa app, etc, AFAIK.
Both of those require their own password or biometrics, so you couldn’t access those either.
Idk about iOS, but android lets you add a fingerprint using the lock screen password
When changing biometric data on the iPhone, it locks you out of using it in other apps, making you put in your bank/other specific password.
