That's why the passcodes are so long now. With limited attempts granted, four digits is more than enough. The long passcode is to encourage you to use the scanner.

Courts have been flip-flopping on the requirement to use your finger or thumb to open an electronic device.

I don't think that the FBI would have a problem getting your fingerprints if they really wanted to get them.

Does the OP have anything other than a hunch that PW are getting longer to move people toward biometric data?

Nope. Just a hunch. But if it wasn't about biometric data then they would have let you control how long it is in case you would prefer to get in easily.
