In the U.S., you do not want to use face unlock for your cellphone. It’s not protected by the 5th amendment. Law enforcement can get into your phone without a warrant.
For those not willing to give up on convenience, on Android, there’s Lockdown mode, which will temporarily disable access via biometrics and force the use of your PIN/password to get into your device. Not sure about other brands, but on Pixel, you can enable it by long-pressing the power button and tapping on “Lockdown”.
Yes, however, I’m not taking the risk that I don’t have hands on my phone if shit ever hit the fan. And in any hectic situation people might not remember “lockdown”. Definitely, not as simple as you think.

PIN & password should be used.
I agree and don’t use it. But that’s not an ethics question.
It’s important info no matter the context.
Fair enough
